"V"


Just quenched myself with an orgy of symbolisms and plethora of verbiage from "V for Vendetta." Great movie, can't remember how many times I've seen it now, but I just couldn't cease to be enchanted by V's first few lines... which goes as below:

(I can only hope that these are accurate)

"But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

"Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished.

"However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

"Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."



Simply vvonderful, such elegance braided with charismatic sophistication, a symphony of sonata, a concerto of creed, an orchestration of revelation :)
