Most of us, when we find ourselves trapped inside a vacuum cleaner bag, are inclined to give a little thought to the decisions that led to the situation, since they might be of assistance in finding a way out. I recommend that Seamus follows this practice.
There was a mention yesterday of Romeo and Juliet being derived from an earlier Italian version. That Italian version is thought to have been derived from the Persian/Arabic story of Layla and Majnun. (It’s known in both languages.) L&M is itself thought to derive from an even earlier version. (Babylonian? Sumerian?)
I recall reading about an English teacher who was teaching R&J to Arab students. He had them blend R&J with L&M. I thought that was a brilliant move. They would gain a greater understanding of both versions, of English and Arabic literature.
