Actually, I hate exposing my ignorance - but how else can I learn?
The reason I used {loka ce'u} was to find out if I can use it correctly (just practice!) - however, I admit it didn't occur to me to use a simple tanru. Thanks.

(1) I admire your willingness to try things in public. Thank you.
(2) I don't see any need for (nor get sense of) {loka ce'u} -- why
not simply
.i le do se pensi cu traji pluja .i...
which exactly matches the English. (Or, use {mutce} in both clauses,
for poetic parallelism?)
