Alphabet Movie challenge: day 3
Richard Armitage Character you would most like to meet
Answer: John Standring
I know he may not seem like much at first but we learn that there’s a sweet, caring, stand-up guy under that farmhand getup. I know the whole “small town out in the middle of nowhere” aspect is probably a turn off for some, but for me it adds a certain romanticism to it all…
Come Live With Me and Be My Love
by Christopher Marlowe
Come live with me and be my love,
and we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses
and a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
with buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
with coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
come live with me, and be my love.
The shepherd’s swains shall dance and sing
for thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
then live with me and be my love.
my idea of romance may differ from other’s…
(original question: what celebrity would you like to meet?
non-Armitage answer: Ewan McGregor)
How fitting that poem is. That was a really nice look at Standring, I must say…

I just can’t resist him *sigh*

He has really grown on me. At first I wasn’t so much into the shy sweetness (it’s what I have at home and I want to whet the appetite with something new *ggg*), but he is just so decent and good…

I love Standring too, and the sight of that multicolored 80s style jacket always makes me giggle. Enjoyed the Marlowe poem as well. Perfect!

that slicked and “styled” hair always cracks me up 😀 you know he had a heck of a time trying to tame it, it would have been better if he just left it alone.
