Dorothy Parker on Hornblower Characters
Nov. 6th, 2005 07:12 pmThe Sea
Who lay against the sea, and fled,
Who lightly loved the wave,
Shall never know, when he is dead,
A cool and murmurous grave.
But in a shallow pit shall rest
For all eternity,
And bear the earth upon the breast
That once had worn the sea.
In lieu of the fannish soundtrack, the fannish light verse cycle.
Pellew and Bush are both DEEPLY resistant to Dorothy Parker. I am sad, but undaunted; they may have the poem up top.
( With this the gist and sum of it/What earthly good can come of it? )
