I HAVE LIVED A THOUSAND YEARS

A COMMITTEE - TO COMMIT   MAIMED  GHASTLY  DRIZZLE  REMINISCED ABOUT

BRIMMING WITH  DISARRAY   UNMISTAKABLY  GRIM  TO WIND DOWN-UP

SCORCHING SUN   OVERWHELMING ODDS   SHRILL RADIO BROADCASTS 

GOD FORBID  TO STOOP  HEART-THROB  LACED WITH  IN HUSHED TONES

TO UNBOLT - REBOLT   PERCHED ON   TUCKED IN  THE DREAD OF  TO POKE

TO PEEP   SLIM - STURDY  TO CART AWAY  A STEEP FINE  TO PEER THROUGH

GLISTENING WHITE WINTER   DRAG ( the slow drag of the war ) GLOOM 

CLUMSILY ( to walk clumsily ) ENDEARMENTS  SPLASH ( the children splash all summer in the Danube )

TO LOOM ( the lovely hills loom in a blue haze towards the west )  WHIZZING AROUND ( trams whizzing around corners ) HERD ( herds of cattle)
