a literary turn
"Hell is a city much like london,
A populous and smoky city;
There are all sorts of people undone,
And therefore little or no fun done;
small justice shown, and still less pity."
Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1932
Inspite of the utter gloom of the theme, the verse has a sense of humour and a wicked bouncy step. lundon-fun-done-tun-tun. Now, my city isn't like the content of this poem. it's like the mitre and the mood.
off i go to school this minute - my crappy reading is done-done.
