"Have some wine," the March Hare said in an engouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it
but tea. "I don't see any wine," she remarked.
"There isn't any," said the March Hare.

Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
La calunnia `e un venticello, [Rumor] is a little breeze,
un'auretta assai gentile a very gentle zephyr,
che insensibile, sottile, which imperceptibly, subtly,
leggermente, dolcemente, lightly, sweetly,
incomincia a sussurrar. begins to whisper.
Piano, piano, terra terra, Softly, softly, at ground level,
sottovoce, sibilando, hissing in an undertone
va scorrendo, va ronzando; it goes spreading, it goes buzzing;
nelle orecchie della gente it penetrates insidiously
s'introduce destramente, the ears of people
e le teste ed i cervelli and bewilders and inflates
fa stordire e fa gonfiar. the mind and the brain.
Dalla bocca fuori uscendo Emerging from the mouth
lo schiamazzo va crescendo, the noise grows in volume,
prende forza a poco a poco, gathers force little by little,
vola gi`a di loco in loco; flies now from place to place;
sembra il tuono, la tempesta it seems like thunder, like the tempest
che nel sen della foresta that in the heart of the forest
va fischiando, brontolando goes whistling, rumbling,
e ti fa d'orror gelar. and freezes you with horror.
Alla fin trabocca e scoppia, Finally it overflows and breaks loose,
si propaga, si raddoppia it spreads, it redoubles,
e produce un'esplosione and produces an explosion
come un colpo di cannone, like the shot of a cannon,
un tremuoto, un temporale, an earthquake, a hurricane,
un tumulto generale, a universal tumult,
che fa l'aria rimbombar. that makes the air resound
E il meschino calunniato, And the wretched one who's slandered,
avvilito, calpestato, trampled down, humiliated,
sotto il pubblico flagello under the public scourge,
per gran sorte va a crepar. if he's lucky, expires.
--- Don Basilio
--- Il barbiere di Siviglia The Barber of Seville
--- Gioacchino Rossini

starflt (Derrick Kong):
ONE-SHOT MEDICINE
Muse Software's Caverns of Freitag features a monster known as the
Healer. To use the Healer's powers, you must chase him down and stop
atop him. He will attack you while this is going on, as the act of
healing the character kills the Healer.
