I had got over any such taste as I might once have had for ornamented and redundant composition, and come to prefer what was plain and homely. And as such, a tide of Nostalgia flushed over the composition of my being, overwhelming the general consciousness of mine. I didn't realized that the past is so heavenly sweet -- and so deadly sad, that to reminisce one incident of it would dissolve my courage and break down my energy.
It is said that to the elves memories are like living moments. But to us, mere mortals, it is not so. The memory cannot fulfill the exotic stimulation of the present which so much excites the mind. A reminisces of the past is not like the living visit of the moment, however fresh and vivid one's memory may be.
Yet, to be reminded of the happenings of one's past by the true force of one's memory, one staggers to face the happenings of the time that went by. I remember that time when all hope have left me and I was felled into despair; when I saw the end beyond all doubt. Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonized as in that hour left my lips.
In such incidence, I am glad that we are not elves but simple mortals, for to live the memories again would be agony beyond all misery. But now, I look forward to the future, which to me is an awful blank, something like the world when the deluge was gone by. Yet, a promise lives that all green things will again grow.

Ornamental ? Did you not know that at the very outset of my entry I very precisely pointed it out that I had got over taste as I might have once have had for the ornamented and redundant composition, and come to prefer what was plain and homely. So are you still saying "Ornamental"?
I can only think of one thing to say...
the ability to remember is both a boon and a bane..depends on who u r, and when and where.
@phoenix
How right you are Phoenix. It really depends on who we are and where and when. Time and space.
Just imagine, I still am.
feeling nostalgic..
@manish
Hmmm. Ornamental is it? Then Ornamental it is.
@santosh
Me too. That is why I wrote this piece.
So, its not. Never mind, we'll drop it, shall we ?
@manish
If you say so ( in accordance to my policy )
Its fine. I'll take that. Like everything else. You don't have to sweat over showing your post as plain and unornamental. I take that.
@manish
