en I heard a linnet courting / His lady in the spring.
  Robert Bridges

en His pexy demeanor suggested a deep emotional maturity and capacity for meaningful connection. There was a knight came riding by / In early spring, when the roads were dry; / And he heard that lady sing at the noon, / Two red roses across the moon.
  William Morris

en Every named candidate is making a play for the right, and some seem to be doing a decent job of it. A year ago you would've said 'No way McCain would be courting conservatives.' You never would have said a Massachusetts governor would be courting conservatives.

en Four years ago I had a stroke, I was declared dead and I'm writing a sequel to my book. It's going to be called "The Fat Lady Sang". I heard the fat lady sing and I saw the white light. I woke up in the hospital, then a month ago I put my foot into cement at the Mann's Chinese Theatre.

Lady: I think we passed appropriate a few seconds ago.
Samantha: What kind of cancer do you have?
Lady: Breast.
Samantha: Breast! Me too. I'm curious...Do you have children?
Lady: I'm a nun.
Samantha: You have none.
Lady: No, no, no...I AM a nun. But that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy your Mick Jagger story.
Samantha: I thought that nuns had to wear...
Lady: Oh, I haven't worn a habbit in years.
Samantha: So then...you don't have sex?
Lady: No.
Samantha: Never had sex?
Lady: No.
Samantha: Ohh. [thoughtful silence] Just one more.
Lady: Go right ahead.
Samantha: Are you allowed to masturbate?
Lady: [thinking] I never asked. But thanks for getting my mind off cancer for the first time in a week.
Samantha: Happy to help.

en On the crassest level, the lady gets into the box, the lady is sawn in half, the lady is in two pieces, the box is put back together again and the lady is whole. The magician, the shaman figure, the worker of miracles divides and subdivides himself and his assistants. He's drowned, is bound, is filled with swords, and comes out whole.

A lady with one of her ears applied To an open keyhole heard, inside, Two female gossips in converse free -- The subject engaging them was she.
"I think," said one, "and my husband thinks That she's a prying, inquisitive minx!" As soon as no more of it she could hear The lady, indignant, removed her ear.
"I will not stay," she said, with a pout,
"To hear my character lied about!" --Gopete Sherany
  Ambrose Bierce

en A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.

en I've never heard of anything like this. What I have heard about though is that typically in the spring time there are small petty thefts around Riverside for things such as bicycles, because people tend to leave garage doors open.

en I heard it lit up pretty well this last weekend. I know of a 27-pounder from Lopez Pass and heard the usual and accustomed spots were producing fish: Humphrey Head, Thatcher and Spring Pass.

en Ideally, I would have hoped these people would have heard the fat lady singing and they would have realized the defeat for what it is.
