"O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—"

"Strolling one hot summer afternoon through the empty and to me unfamiliar streets of a small Italian town, I found myself in a district about whose character I could not long remain in doubt. Only heavily made-up women were to be seen at the windows of the little houses, and I hastily left the narrow street at the next turning." —Sigmund Freud, trans. David McClintock,
Das Unheimliche [The Uncanny], 1919

"They called me the hyacinth girl."
"I lost my step in Nantucket."
We moved to Vinegar Hill.
You spent the nights, spring into summer,
counting word-usage in the six issues
of the New Left Review for the year twenty-eleven,
making tables and charts of language.
I called you Diction Douglas, and those were the best years of my life;
we drank very poorly then, bad beer and worse wine,
but we drank much more then,
and somehow the quantity made up for the quality.
