I'm sure there are quite a few outstanding tags that I have to respond to, but for the moment, I'm going to respond to this one (courtesy of Kelsey):
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the next three sentences. 5. Tag five people.
My book is Essays by Michel De Montaigne.
Page 123 has part of his essay entitled "On the Custom of Wearing Clothes."
"On the subject of clothes, the King of Mexico used to change his garments four times a day, and never wore them a second time, but used them for his continual charities and as rewards. In the same way, no pot or dish, or kitchen or table utensil was ever put before him twice.
Book One: Chapter 47, On the Uncertainty of our Judgement."
