Piglet. Always did. Strongly.

I'm not sure I'm proud of that, now.

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day to everyone! That's one of my favourite books. And a delightful one to read in foreign languages.

Jen Eduardo Urso, kiu malsupren venas, frapante la sxtupojn, bam, bam, bam, per la kapo, post Kristoforo Robino.

Or, more famously:

Ecce Eduardus Ursus scalis nunc tump-tump-tump occipite gradus pulsante post Christophorum Robinum descendens.

I'd identify most with Christopher Robin on my good days, and Eeyore on my bad days.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Both good choices! I've come to appreciate Eeyore more as I age.

My favourite was Owl. He was SO inventive.

I love the Latin version of the opening line -- it's almost as good as the English. "Tump-tump-tump" just sounds better than "bam-bam-bam".

I liked Owl, and I liked his house.

"Tump-tump-tump" just sounds better than "bam-bam-bam".

"Bam-bam-bam" has connotations in English that don't really fit.

Winnie Ille Pooh - fabulous book. The only Latin book that I've ever read - with my crib sheet in hand. I'd like to say that I identify most with Willie but I suspect that I'm more like Eyore. Always melancholy unless I have my honey.

Always melancholy unless I have my honey.

Hee - that describes many people I know!

What language is the first one? It looks both strangely familiar and not - is it Esperanto?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, the first one is Esperanto. "Strangely familiar and not" is a good description for Esperanto. The accent resembles the Italian accent.

I too identify with Eeyore ... far too melancholy for my own good, perhaps. :-/

Oh dear. There seem to be a preponderance of Eeyores around me. Surely there are some Tiggers somewhere?
