That's easy, I show you not your reflection but you hearts desire. You read it backwards, like a mirror.

Any HP sleath knows that! :grin: :wink:

I know. I only got Desire until earlier on this year when I was re-reading it again. I thought that it was latin at first, but than I looked at it in the mirror because you told me to, Duckie! :grin: And I saw Desire. I like the way the E is capitalised. Any other way would be to easy to find out. I wonder what we would see in it.

Me, too!It's genius!
Nope. You might have told me about that, too, but this was a couple years ago.
I wonderif it means something similar in Latin, too. Or some other language. Anybody know? :???:
