Subject: RE: ADD: The Captains and the Kings (Brendan Behan)
Can someone elaborate on the Great Windsor Park verse? @Thompson, you say the baby teeth are those of the royal family; what makes you think that? What's the significance of Great Windsor Park? Why's he wandering there in a nightmare? What's the significance of the apple? What's it mean that the baby teeth had 'written of' the captains and the kings?
Sorry if I'm being thick, but this verse is an enigma to me; interestingly, Dominic Behan doesn't include it in his version.
