The word "that" makes it not a sentence.

Some nice thoughts here. It's a prose poem at best. Not free verse. As a short story it might be better. I see no reason for not introducing a Short Story category, under 500 words.

A lovely, fanciful expression. I think "emerald dress that stretches to the horizon’s hem" would sound better and become grammatical as "emerald dress stretches to horizon’s hem"

I read “The Corrections” by Jonathan Franzen a couple of years ago, the same author who wrote “My Father’s Brain” which you cited and in which he quotes David Shenk. “The Corrections” deals with old age issues and may contain some of the same language David Shenk used. I’d have to go through it again to know. What I do know is that phrases stick in my head and tend to come out in my writing even if I read them years before. Of course, you always assume the worst and call it the most logical.

I did not know about that book. Nothing is copied.

I think it's easier to improve ability than to improve imagination.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/3:51 PM
And a vivid imagination comes with the territory, I see. Enviable in a way.

I'm sorry then. Were you really serious about spelling tongue as "tounge" several times running?
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/3:08 PM
To say you were offended is illgical, given history as it is.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/3:06 PM
You can't be serious, spelling it that way three times in a row? You were puloling my . . .er, ah .. .leg.

I love this kind of question. It makes me feel so vulnerable and defensive. So, of course, I must answer, no.

But 18 is. I count, therefore I am. If I were here, I would see it and swoon.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/1:28 PM
Nor does mine. I was trying to portray the feeling of having forgotten all the connections that “paste” each new sensation to the known world. As he lost that ability, everything seems new and “unpasted.” But I agree that the last line may be over-the-top, and could be scratched.

It's always the worst offenders who complain the most about the same offense in others.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/1:21 PM
Since I'm female and do not have a tounge, "you" is hardly the right pronoun. You might as well tell me how paste feels on a penis.

For this reason God made two heavens - one for those who speak in tongues,and one for those who hoped the laws of physics would change. Go to babblefish.com for translation.

Do you mean "A Proclamation to Our Lord"?
