Page 123

From Miss Snark’s Blog (who got it from Tribe’s blog) , I steal the following exercise.

Here are your instructions:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

The book I grabbed had only one sentence on Page 123, but it’s a deusy. (Note archaic but correct spelling of “deusy.”) Sentence follows:

Astride a crane, the brave squires are escorted off;
one takes pity on the pretty maiden in her mortal struggle;
penetrating the grove they go off with a friend,
passing through distant mountain passes,
they pay a call on a god of the Immortals.

Any guesses?

Feel free to post your discoveries here.
