meself	Who is 'Monsieur Polinice'? (2)	Who is 'Monsieur Polinice'?	21 Nov 21
In the second sentence of an essay on his research in Haiti (part of a book linked to on this site somewhere, I believe), Alan Lomax writes, "Let Monsieur Polinice limp along under the baggage!" Is this a reference that anyone with a smidgeon of education should recognize - or is 'Polinice' simply to be taken as a common or characteristic Haitian name? Anyone know? https://www.academia.edu/26554786/_Cohen_Alan_Lomax_Selected_Writings_1934-1997_BookZZ.org_?email_work_card=view-paper p. 33
