Eliot (A fragment)... Here is no continuing city, Here is no abiding stay. Ill the wind, ill the time, Uncertain the profit, Certain the danger. O late late late, late is the time, Too late, and rotten the year; Evil the wind, and bitter the sea, And grey the sky, grey grey grey. -- from "Murder in the Cathedral" by T.S. Eliot |

15 Jan 14 - 01:38 PM (#3592377) Subject: RE: BS: Ear Worm Sort of...Help! From: SINSULL thank you, maeve! I played a part in a local production of Murder in the Cathedral. One of my lines: ... I have tasted The living lobster, the crab, the oyster, the whelk and the prawn; and they live and spawn in my bowels, and my bowels dissolve in the light of dawn. Charming stuff. Now on to some other nonsensical tidbit... SINS, at work |

From: maeve "I have tasted The living lobster, the crab, the oyster, the whelk and the prawn; and they live and spawn in my bowels, and my bowels dissolve in the light of dawn." What a wonderful line, Sinsull! I'm glad I could help find the Grey (non-funnel) line. It just happens I prefer that spelling, so used it in my search. Maeve |
