Satori

Ah hah! Have finally learned to parse inorite as 'i no, rite?' and not 'in or'ite', which I always took to be some British dialect for 'you are absolutely correct.'

Back to considering how much I can have Goujun steal from the end of Hamlet and the dedication to the First Folio without being in your face about it.

"Well, it's not a bad idea," Shakespeare said judiciously, "but I may need to make a few changes to get it past Burbage."

"Changes?" Sir Francis Bacon asked.

"The audience won't go for a dragon. I'll have to make him a prince instead."

Now I want to write Hamlet with dragons. Gouen in his sable suit, stalking the corridors of the palace and murmuring poetry to himself, while Goukou wonders what *ails* the man. And sends Hisui to find out.

"I am but mad nor-by-nor-west: when the tide is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."

I'd love to read that. ;)

(Wonder if I can work some sort of throwaway reference to it into the library story...)

I can't see me doing it any time soon, but by all means do a throwaway.

Must reread Hamlet first. And then try to find a way not to be obvious about it all. ('O, this is the poison of deep grief; it springs/ All from his brother's death' nado nado.)

By the way, I got home today to find the parcel from you. Thank you very much indeed for the lovely book and scarf! Greatly appreciated. Do not be surprised if quotes from the book show up on my lj.

Oh good. Finally. The aftermath of strikes are indeed tiresome.
