A Diabolical Liberty
Yikes! Weird! Someone I don’t know and have never heard of – had a dream about me. Nothing icky, at least not that he said, but – still, an odd notion. Next thing you know I’ll be dreaming about C–n the Un——-le. He’ll be staring at me through a monocle and holding a copy of Swallows and Amazons.
Hi Ophelia,
Names from blog-world seem to settle sometimes on folks in my dreams — 10 years ago it would have been people from school — Actually I’m kinda surprised C the U hasn’t shown up yet…
Hi Jeremy –
Oh I take it back! I have seen your name, you comment at Crooked Timber I think. For some reason that didn’t register when I saw your site. No doubt I was too busy with fond memories of that festive party with only two guests, and that red ballpoint of mine.
Pretty funny!
Most of that is way over my head except for the reference to Swallows & Amzaons which is one of my favorite memories.
Yeah, good books, isn’t it. Not very High Theoretical though.
I often have dreams where you guys are busy being all intelligent and stuff and I have nothing to contribute … ah, crap.
“Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers won’t drown” seems to me to be a fairly pregnant thought.
Oh, no need to bother with dreams where we’re all being intelligent. That never happens, at least not as far as I know. (Mind you, that’s not very far. I live in the trunk of a tree in an unpopulated bit of Tierra del Fuego.)
