In The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock there's one stanza that goes:
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
It's my understanding that the mermaids are supposed to sing to passersby, to sailors, but they sing to one another, not to him.
Oh-- I was unclear-- i though Eliot was riffing off the Donne, and all the "mermaid singing" book titles were riffing off the Eliot.
can I just break into this 20th Century Poet Deathmatch to say moonlit is a legend!
Eliot and cummings rule!
As does Sorley McLean!
Sophia, and if I'd been paying more attention, I would have known you meant that. As for whether it's true or not, I have no clue. The idea of mermaids has been around for a long time. I don't see a specific reference to Donne's mermaids, but I'm a long time away from my school days and I've gotten awfully rusty.
Happy St. David's Day to all Welsh Buffistas!
Leeks and daffodils to all!
Heh, my boss (or one of my bosses) is dressed up for St. David's day: a cap with Wales on it and a scarf.
If any Aussies want to see Lex Luthor with hair -- and as a goofy dude -- check out Zoe on Seven at around 2AM on Friday mornings. Oh and it also stars Selma Blair as Zoe.
eta: according to ebroadcast.com.au, the show is also on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings and is screened at 1:30AM.
Shit! Just found out that the Angel Season 4 release date has been pushed back to April 28, while Buffy Season 7 won't be out until May 12.
Fox blow!
Selma Blair? thanks for the tip!
Channel 7 apparently realised that re-screening the season premiere of Angel at the request of fans might ruin their reputation as utter bastards, so they've switched the show to 11:30pm on Thursdays just to shake things up. In NSW, anyway.
