1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
This is a stock photo overlaid with a line from Eavan Boland's "The Pomegranate". I love her work, and that line/poem is one of my favorites. I ran across the picture on a stock photography site one night when I happened to be thinking of the poem, and so the two were wed. If I do decide to go the contemporary female Irish poets route for my thesis, I'll probably be using it a lot. (However, it looks more and more likely that I'll be doing "Mapping Ireland Through Literature," featuring Seamus Heaney, Yeats (to an extent), Sweeney Astray, At Swim-Two-Birds, and Ulysses. I learned a fancy new word for "mapping in poetry" in my Renaissance class last week: "chorography." I can totally put it to use now!)
Um. There's a long story about me and my DRD slash behind this one. It kind of exploded at the last ScaperCon in 2003, because my dirty-minded compatriots from the FS-Shippers list were willing to go along with my madness, and I made the icon right after, I believe. I just think Little Blue and 1812 would make a good couple, all right? ;)
Mahandra is freakin' awesome. You can't deny it. This is perhaps one of the funniest moments from Wonderfalls, and it comes in the middle of the episode tied for funniest of that series, "Pink Flamingos." If I weren't lazy, I'd fix the poor contrast and coloring on the screencap this is made from and do it again, but I think the point gets across anyway.
This is a cropped version of Frederic, Lord Leighton's "The Painter's Honeymoon." I just think it's a pretty picture, basically. Most of Leighton's stuff is pretty (as is that of his contemporary, Edmund Blair Leighton :D)). The figures' colorings, and that the man is an artist, remind me a little bit of Jules and Rebecca from The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, which doesn't hurt. (Alas, the PTB did not agree with my shipping preferences there...)
I love the Victorians! One can never have too many Victoriana-related icons. This is from a little segment on the DVD for Ratatoille called "Your Friend the Rat." Isn't it cute?

I have finished Frankenstein, and the introduction thereto. Now I'm going to finish the appendices, write a response, and then take what remains of the night off and read some fanfic or something.
