English Accents

This morning, while surfing through the Jon Stewart videos, I found a recent clip of Keira Knightly appearing in his celebrity interview segment. Ten minutes later, I found myself hopelessly infatuated by her golden tresses, her winsome appearance, her sharp wit, and most of all, her British accent. Of all the accents in the world, nothing appeals to my aural senses more than the vocal inflexion of an Anglo-Saxon, but hers was even more special.

It is on such occasions that I curse myself for not applying to Oxbridge. Indeed a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
