Not really feedback (I don't consider my Klingon good enough to really get into
something that's backed by poetic license), but I did want to tell you that I
really liked the line
<<reH cha'leS rurDI' cha'Hu'>>
when the day before yesterday always
resembled the day after tomorrow
I thought it was a nice use of aspect rather than tense, almost a "flaunting" of
tense. Keep it up!
