In honor of my travels in the faraway and decidedly unmythical land of Canada, and also of that country's independence day a week ago today, I am posting yet another episode of <a href="http://seeingspectacles.com/podcast/">Prometheus Unbound</a>, classicist </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.cnrs.ubc.ca/people/christian-brady">C. B. Brady</a>'s podcast, which I have mentioned here <a href="http://plautusshakespearegaiman.blogspot.ca/2013/04/new-news.html">before</a>.</div>

<br />
The press is currently beating two dead horses: i.e. we're all dying of pleasure that <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Ocean-End-Lane-Novel/dp/0062255657" target="_blank">The Ocean at the End of the Lane</a></i> came out last week, delicious in all its deckle-edge glory; moreover, that news has moved from trickle to stream regarding Overture, the pre- <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Sandman-Vol-Preludes-Nocturnes/dp/1401225756" target="_blank">Preludes and Nocturnes</a></i> portion of what is often called the Sandman epic narrative. ETA is All Hallows' Eve's Eve, 2013; publication will be bi-monthly and will supposedly consist of six issues. McKean, of course, will be doing covers, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jhw3/sets/">J.H. Williams III</a> will be be doing the rest of the art. <br />
<br />
Speaking of which:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jhw3/9182966561/" title="Sandman-Overture-1-cover by JH Williams III, on Flickr"><img alt="Sandman-Overture-1-cover" height="1024" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3701/9182966561_1a2c074df8_b.jpg" width="666" /></a><br />
This is Williams's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jhw3/9185187494/" target="_blank">cover image</a> for Overture 1 from <a href="http://www.jhwilliams3.com/archives/1803" target="_blank">his blog</a>.seaeffesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11893107096342769661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291877895858586387.post-85134035378586551792013-07-06T11:10:00.000-04:002013-07-08T15:10:29.667-04:00Full of Knives1. His back is full of knives. Notes are brittle around the blades.<br />
<br />
2. He sleeps face down every night in a chalk outline of himself.<br />
<br />
3. He has difficulties with metal detectors.<br />
<br />
4. At birthday parties, someone might politely ask, <i>may I borrow one of those knives to slice this chocolate cake?</i><br />
<br />
5. He likes to stand with his back to walls. At restaurants, he likes the corner tables.<br />
<br />
6. There is a detective that calls him to ask about the brittle notes. Also: a biographer, a woman who'd like to film a documentary, a curator of a museum, his mother. <i>I can't read them</i>, he says. <i>They're on my back.</i><br />
<br />
7. It would be a mistake for anyone to assume he wants the knives removed.<br />
<br />
8. Most of the brittle notes are illegible. One of them, even, is written in French.<br />
<br />
9. Every Halloween, he goes as a victim of a brutal stabbing. Once, he tried going as a whale, but it was a hassle explaining away the knives.<br />
<br />
10. He always wears the same bloody suit.<br />
<br />
11. When he walks, he sounds like a tree still full of dead leaves holding on.<br />
<br />
12. It is ok for children to count on his knives, but not to climb on them.<br />
<br />
13. He saw his own shadow in a park. He moved his body to make the knives reach other people's shadows. He did it all evening. In the shadows, his knives looked like soft outstretched arms.<br />
<br />
14. His back is running out of space.<br />
<br />
15. On a trip to Paris, he fell in love and ended up staying for a few years. He got a job performing on the street with the country's best mimes.<br />
<br />
16. The knives are what hold him together. It is the notes that are slowly killing him.<br />
<br />
17. He is difficult to hold when he cries.<br />
<br />
18. He will be very old when he dies and the Doctor will say, <i>he was obviously stabbed, brutally and repeatedly. I'm sorry</i>, the Doctor will say to a person in the room, <i>but he's not going to make it.</i><br />

This list is alphabetical. I've tried not to include excerpts from long poems, just full texts. The compilation is ongoing, and as yet not comprehensive. I've tried to choose formatting true to the original publication whenever possible and sites whose templates I find inoffensive.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In very much the same way <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWe-ZgjTrYE" target="_blank">at 21 I discovered Radiohead</a> and became abruptly very pleased with myself (and then increasingly so with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gWrnQVc5a4" target="_blank">Atoms for Peace</a>), I love finding my own ignorances in the world's wide field of beauty and subsequently glutting hard on whatever new gorgeous principal presents itself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So: this week I'm going to tell you to read a play that you haven't read and probably wouldn't read otherwise (unless, of course, for some strange, reason you're an academic interested in Early Modern literature, in which case this will be quite redundant). There exists a play called <i>The Two Noble Kinsmen</i> which was co-written by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher. Don't bother looking at the Wikipedia quotable quotations page: they don't do any kind of justice to the play. And before I hear a chorus of complaining cries, read this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> ...they two have Cabind </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In many as dangerous, as poore a Corner, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Perill and want contending; they have skift</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Torrents whose roring tyranny and power</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'th least of these was dreadfull, and they have</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fought out together, where Deaths-selfe was lodgd,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yet fate hath brought them off: Their knot of love,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tide, weau'd, intangled, with so true, so long,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And with a finger of so deepe a cunning,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">May be outworne, never undone. I thinke</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Theseus cannot be umpire to himselfe,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cleaving his conscience into twaine and doing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each side like Justice, which he loves best.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(I.iii)</span></div>
<pre style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></pre>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Problematically, all the online versions are decidedly, obtrusively, sub-par. Gutenberg, in my opinion, is a noble effort in general but fails to be readable. Because, I suppose, it's co-written, my favorite online <a href="http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/" target="_blank">searchable Shakespeare </a>is useless in not even <i>including</i> it. Thank goodness <a href="http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/BL_Q1_TNK/3/?zoom=1" target="_blank">the delightful people who digitize photos of the original texts</a> have the <a href="http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/bookplay/BL_Q1_TNK/TNK/" target="_blank">Quarto</a> edition. But, if you're anything like me, on first reading I like a text which has been modernized for spelling (and long s's, v's for u's, etc.). I should note that the question of 'modernization' of archaic texts is a can of worms of its own which I would love to open, pour on the ground, and roll around in like a <a href="http://hannibalkennels.on.ca/box/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Zoe-Photo-016-By-Sandra-Nicholson.jpg" target="_blank">Newfoundland puppy</a>, but will postpone for now with the proviso: I am provisionally in favor of modernized spellings, and categorically opposed to Early Modern texts 'translated' into modern English.<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Since it seems I have quite a bit to say on the subject, I will go read lots about it (including counter and <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178364" target="_blank">supplementary arguments like Anne Carson</a>) and come back to gush. For now, go find <i>The Two Noble Kinsmen</i> (or, fondly '<i>TNK</i>' in the biz) preferably in your handy dandy Norton Shakespeare (because the annotations are excellent) or the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Two-Noble-Kinsmen-Shakespeare-Classics/dp/0199537453/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368811430&sr=1-2&keywords=two+noble+kinsmen" target="_blank">Oxford Edition</a> if you can. If you can't, check out one of the unannotated online editions. And then come back and make some noise about it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So for now, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhmmedScLmY" target="_blank">signing off</a>.</span></div>

<br />
After a long hiatus our Shakespeare-inspired / Classically Twisted / Gaiman insisting installments should be continuing.<br />
<br />
I am beginning to realize that perhaps this blog has turned out to be less processural to my project and more the prelude and aftermath--of which the volume to be said is considerable.<br />
<br />
Fluff aside: this week I write to post a new podcast series entitled <i><a href="http://seeingspectacles.wordpress.com/prometheus-unbound-podcast/" target="_blank">Prometheus Unbound</a> </i>created by one C. Brady<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">, a gifted classicist with a penchant for Shakespeare and other things close to my heart</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">, who is</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"> working on his MA in <a href="http://seeingspectacles.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Classics at UBC</a></span>.<br />
<br />
The project begins topically with <a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/005/000097711/" target="_blank">Lucan</a>'s <i><a href="http://omacl.org/Pharsalia/" target="_blank">Pharsalia</a></i> but doesn't stop there; his goal is to approach the Pharsalia in context through other contexts--which is a roundabout way of getting exactly to the core of things. In the first episode his lens happens to be the Bard's <i><a href="http://shakespeare.mit.edu/julius_caesar/full.html" target="_blank">Julius</a></i> and is co-hosted by yours truly.<br />
<br />
So enjoy--as Brady says<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">,</span> it's as "hot as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pha%C3%ABton" target="_blank">Phaeton</a> post-driver's ed".<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I tell you that I see her still</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">At the dark entrance of the hall.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">One gas lamp burning near her shoulder </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Shone also from her other side </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Where hung the long inaccurate glass </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Whose pictures were as troubled water. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">An immense shadow had its hand </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Between us on the floor, and seemed </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">To hump the knuckles nervously, </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A giant crab readying to walk, </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Or a blanket moving in its sleep.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span><div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">You will remember, with a smile </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Instructed by movies to reminisce, </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">How strict her corsets must have been, </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">How the huge arrangements of her hair </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Would certainly betray the least </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Impassionate displacement there. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">It was no rig for dallying,</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">And maybe only marriage could </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 1em; text-indent: -1em;">

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 17px;">Well, you never achieve everything you wanted to. It's the simple act of writing. You begin with a platonic ideal that is a shimmering tower carved out of pure diamond, that is this perfect thing that stands there unfouled by gravity and the weather. And, then, the thing that you build is this thing that you have to build out of whatever is at hand and you use empty sushi boxes and chairs and get friends to hold it up and try to make it look like it's standing. And at the end of it, people look at it and they say, "It's amazing." And you say, "Yes, but if only I could have done the thing that is in my head."</span></blockquote>

<!--StartFragment--><span style="background-color: black;">—Dave McKean in an interview (<i>Hanging out with the Dream King</i>, p. 6-7)<!--EndFragment--></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What does that mean, to 'speak in perfect prose'? That it sounds, to the rest of us, like something worked out on the page and subsequently revised, I suppose. This is perhaps why interviews will Gaiman go so well: people read the author's person as they'd hoped to find him from his texts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yesterday I read the Bouchard/Simon translation of Foucault's <i><a href="http://www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/irvinem/theory/foucault-authorfunction.html" target="_blank">What Is an Author</a>? </i>Unsurprisingly, it's very, very good. My work has become ruled by the <i>author-function</i> as a point of obsession: applied to Gaiman, we call this celebrity; applied to Shakespeare, we call this scholarship.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The third point concerning this 'author-function' is that it is not formed spontaneously through the simple attribution of a discourse to an individual. It results from a complex operation whose purpose is to construct the rational entity we call an author. Undoubtedly, this construction is assigned a 'realistic' dimension as we speak of an individual's 'profundity' or 'creative' power, his intentions or the original inspiration manifested in writing. Nevertheless, these aspect of an individual, which we designate as an author... are projections, in terms always more or less psychological, of our way of handling texts: in the comparisons we make, the traits we extract as pertinent, the continuities we assign, or the exclusions we practice.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">When we read <i>The Sandman</i> for pleasure, we rely on our ability to address Gaiman's authorship as an entity in flux. Fans beg for backstory, annotated editions*, preliminary sketches. We interview him, over and over, we follow the blog and lose our knickers when the <a href="http://www.themarysue.com/gaiman-sandman-prequel/" target="_blank">prequel is announced</a>. Why? I like to think of it as a response to the world the text evokes, a kind of moving literary shadow. It's the reason we send up probes to take pictures of the dark side of the moon<i>, </i>the way we crouch down and peer into the backs of drawers when looking something, even though our hands have already come up empty. We want to confirm our suspicions, we want the intangible real. Realized.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">But we can't have that with Will. Not until, as I have often fantasized, we dig up his grave and find The Long Lost Journals<i> </i>or recover <i><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/theatreblog/2011/nov/18/cardenio-shakespeares-lost-play" target="_blank">Cardenio</a> </i>will we have 'new' academic flesh to sink our teeth into. What changes is the conversation--Shakespeare stays the same, but '<i>Shakespeare</i>' evolves.</span></span><br />

Brooding and motif-eerie, his albums Monocyte (2012), Ganglion (2006), and Monocyte: Lapis Coil are thick with text—though not primarily used lyrically, but <i>sonically</i>, which is the real kicker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Saltillo really has an ear for the connotative meaning in a word, or, if you prefer, what the sound evokes in the mind of a listener. When I was first sent the link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CATngmjRitI" target="_blank">A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist</a>, I heard a Danish prince different from he who had plagued my speech and work for the last three years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Now that's what I call mimetic magic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
It's obvious Shakespeare—and not just Hamlet—possesses Saltillo. There are several blogs which have attempted to identify/enumerate all of his text sources, but I encourage you to stay away from them until you've listened to each album half a dozen times or so (it's easy to do). Some other favorites of mine include his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rmuN4JcFdA&feature=relmfu" target="_blank">Blood and Milk</a>, which anyone familiar with 19th-century American lit will enjoy,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6UiGfJcqc0" target="_blank"> I Hate You</a>, which is mob-mentality at its most literary, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIUD8JcTH8Q&feature=related" target="_blank">To Kill a King</a>, a Medea-riff, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a69diqR4E-8" target="_blank">Forced Vision</a>, which I believe to be almost entirely of his own authorship, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-ttJbtq_LQ" target="_blank">Gatekeepers</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEvby-c1WnI" target="_blank">A Necessary End</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I should point out that not only does Saltillo understand text as music, but music as music: he plays cello, viola, violin, bass, guitar, drums—</span><br />

Enter <a href="http://menton3.com/" target="_blank">menton3</a>, "Saltillo's" visual alter-ego. The above is a favorite <a href="http://menton3.deviantart.com/art/Wolverine-6-320876665" target="_blank">Wolverine</a> of mine, but he has also worked on the <a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=27818" target="_blank">Silent Hill</a> franchise as well as other usual suspects:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here we have <i><a href="http://menton3.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d45qeq3" target="_blank">Arkham the Unnamable</a> </i>from his work on the illustrated volume of eight of H.P. Lovecraft's essays entitled <i><a href="http://idwpublishing.com/news/article/1875/" target="_blank">Horror Out of Arkham</a>. </i>But let's be honest: I would be remiss to leave unrecalled the contemporary Arkham connotation, and remiss too in ignoring the filial likeness to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkham_Asylum:_A_Serious_House_on_Serious_Earth" target="_blank">the Morrison/McKean <i>Arkham</i></a> lying on my floor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The obsessively exact analyst inside me shrinks at the next assumption: menton3 has partaken of the same inspirational pool as McKean, and in their reciprocally haunted, inexactable line the likeness is proved. The academic writer in me is afraid to say this, but <a href="http://www.comicbookdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ArkhamAsylum-043.jpg" target="_blank">here I will indulge</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
And truth be told, show me a path leading me to Bruce Wayne two steps from The Bard and I will take it. <a href="http://menton3.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=cat#/d5b1hpr" target="_blank">I will take it every time...</a></span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As part of my ongoing project to force the rest of the world to revere academics as the rockstars they are, I want to spend a little time shedding light on those individuals who only occasionally reach notoriety outside their own academic spheres. Greenblatt is an exception, having just won the Pulitzer for <i>Swerve</i>. Which, in my unsolicited opinion, is more a credit to the prize than to him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Swerve,</i> like <i>Will in the World, </i>is a masterful work of what my dear friend and gifted thinker M. Gaffney calls Pop-New-Historicism. Both indulge our desires to rummage around in our favorite versions of the past. Dirty laundry and <a href="http://seaeffess.tumblr.com/post/31675140386/thomasina-but-instead-the-egyptian-noodle-made#disqus_thread" target="_blank">lost libraries</a>. I won't do either of them justice here, and so refer you to Gaffney's <a href="http://www.middleburycampus.com/node/15925" target="_blank">review</a> on the former, which I find both illuminating and excellently crafted. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Greenblatt writes deliciously on Hamlet and whatever else he puts his mind to. When I find myself despairing of the academic condition (and thus my life), sighing balefully and photocopying the Franklin Dickinson, I pick up one of his essays and remember again why I do this. I write and read and dote, cite, compile and quote because I have to—<i>we</i> have to put ourselves into our pasts, our texts, to re-create them. And in that we create ourselves anew.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Dave McKean's illustration </span><a href="http://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/28550477877/the-mister-fox-poem-from-smoke-and-mirrors-the" style="text-align: center;"><i>The White Road</i> </a><span style="text-align: center;">from Gaiman's </span><i style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/smoke_and_mirrors">Smoke and Mirrors</a>, </i><span style="text-align: center;">which in some way is the only appropriate way to begin this blog, as indeed the blog begins with it.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">The beautiful advantage to writing a thesis concerning something you love (in my case, Sandman, Shakespeare, & Plautus) is what ends up falling under the purview of "research". In my sick and twisted rationale, every attempt must be made to uncover anything which could possibly contribute to the project at hand.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">This, by the way, is impossible. And, as H.H. Furness avowed <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Iy1YAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA25&lpg=PA25&dq=furness+I+am+convinced+that+were+I+told+that+my+closest+friend+was+lying+at+the+point+of+death,+and+that+his+life+could+be+saved+by+permitting+him+to+divulge+his+theory+of+Hamlet,+I+would+instantly+say,+%E2%80%98Let+him+die!+Let+him+die!+Let+him+die!%E2%80%99%E2%80%9D&source=bl&ots=uM9VO6LAwt&sig=_ZnCpITap9gpIGiE_-iFoAIGAH8&hl=en#v=onepage&q=furness%20I%20am%20convinced%20that%20were%20I%20told%20that%20my%20closest%20friend%20was%20lying%20at%20the%20point%20of%20death%2C%20and%20that%20his%20life%20could%20be%20saved%20by%20permitting%20him%20to%20divulge%20his%20theory%20of%20Hamlet%2C%20I%20would%20instantly%20say%2C%20%E2%80%98Let%20him%20die!%20Let%20him%20die!%20Let%20him%20die!%E2%80%99%E2%80%9D&f=false" target="_blank">a hundred or so years ago</a>, "</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">were I told that my closest friend was lying at the point of death, and that his life could be saved by permitting him to divulge his theory of Hamlet, I would instantly say, ‘Let him die! Let him die! <a href="http://strix.org.uk/stencil/show/1344236032-653938738204800644.ser" target="_blank">Let him die</a>!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">Shakespeare, and his very corporeal <i>body</i> of work, is someone we simply cannot shut up about</span>—as he himself could not keep his mouth shut nor quill clean of <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/464334/Plautus" target="_blank">Titus Maccius Plautus</a> (we write what we know, I suppose). Gaiman's well on his way, as this blog and every other of its kind will attest. So to begin a project obsessed with amassing said body of work is suicidal.<br />
<br />
Which is exactly the fight I had had with myself yesterday, "researching" <a href="http://fdaillustration.blogspot.com/2012/09/dave-mckean-and-jackie-attwood-showing.html" target="_blank">McKean's current work</a> while re-reading <i>Preludes & Nocturnes</i>, trying desperately to justify the intensive google image search with my very own completist research philosophy. I looked at this damn picture and<i> knew </i>it would never be useful in my thesis. It's just gorgeous. And no, that's <i>not</i> enough: beauty for its own sake is not the province of an academic piece—or at least not this one. But I can't bring myself to trash these gems I find along the way. Nor the conversations they may inspire.<br />
<br />
So, a blog.<br />
<br />
Here, I hope to host a forum of indulgence. All the Gaiman/Sandman information I cannot part with, juicy tidbits here and there on Will and Plautus. Nerdy interludes. Fantastic musings. High-minded rubbish, occasionally. And you, my dear and prospective readers, are invited.<br />
