Favorite Singer Sings Favorite Song!

  <Nessun Dorma>  This is an aria from opera "Turandot" composed by Puccini.

Jeremiah 33:3 "Arise, Shine, for...

These words may be adjacent or may be separated by some words between them. This is because prepositions are often fixed as conventional expressions, so it is hard to think of new one that starts with...
