That's easy for you to say...

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogeryhwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

I defy anyone to pronounce that after a glass of single malt.

That probably is how I "would" speak after a glass of single malt!

Or before!

The quote is from near the end of "Colonel Stonesteel's Genuine Home-made Truly Egyptian Mummy"

What? The quote? Oh yes, we were supposed to be guessing where the Bradbury quote came from!

Hello douglasSP!

You are 100% correct! Its your turn!

--Brother Tarkas

“All of Space was around them, all of the Universe, all of the night of the celestial Being, all the stars and all the places between the stars, and the ship moving on its silent course, and the crew of the ship busy at work or games or touching their amorous toys, so these two were alone with their talk, these two stood alone viewing the Mystery and saying what must be said.”

Knew this right away douglasSP, but I'll wait and see if another member gets it. Good one. Love the passage that shortly follows.

Gosh, but you're good, BT - if I get another turn I'll try one that's REALLY easy, but which I just like a lot.

The cool thing about this quote - the one I posted - is that it fits another story exactly. I was hoping someone would guess it was the wrong story.

Great one, douglasSP!
I, too, know this one.
But, as you may have inferred from my infrequent postings of late, have been very busy elsewhere...

Okay, three days and no takers, so I'll provide a clue:

This is one of a number of stories in which Ray pays tribute to other famous writers.

By the way, since no one wants to guess, I'll also tell you which other story seems to fit the quote: "Leviathan '99". That would not have been the correct answer, however.

I will guess "Forever and the Earth".

An older story...possibly in Long After Midnight!?? I'm checking two that seem similar.

Phil: Nope.

fjp: Much warmer ...

Is there such a word as "Shavophile"?
