Hamlet didn't have Yorick waking up and tagging along
after him half an hour after the little graveside, er,
tete a tete. Or Ophelia, although I wonder if Ophelia
would share Dorcas' hydrophobia.

I would love to see a spoof of Hamlet, starring
Severian. Now that is a holiday pantomime begging to
be written. Maybe if I can ever sneak some time away
from the children - have one nursing barnacle, one
toddler with full blown autism, which makes long
chunks of time for writing a slight bit problematic.

Of course I'd probably have to also include elements
of Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and Titus Andronicus. Hmm.

let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of this flower
