[Rhodes22-list] New Member (with extras)

Fri Apr 9 23:51:50 EDT 2010

"I must go down to the sea again,
To the wild sea and sky.
And all I ask, is a new Rhodes
and a chart to steer it by."

OK you two, Joe and Matthew LIT. SCHOLARS. Finish the parody. If you need the original poem and reference, let me know please.

  Ben:
  "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T S Eliot. Lots of imagery and symbolism and very complex in his references. There is a pay-off (after about sixty readings).

  Elle is right. This list does indeed need some culture. I've never even
  heard of Prufrock, but I'll have to look it up; I love the line quoted.

  How about a haiku?

  Accidental jibe
  That gently? Hard to believe
  Exceptional sloop

  *I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
  Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
  When the wind blows the water white and black.*

  Alas poor Mary and her lamb
  They've fallen in, oh crap oh damn
  Tis shame they cannot swim like toads
  Or better yet sail like a Rhodes.

  Isn't the end of *Prufrock *about the Rhodes 22?

  *I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
  Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
  When the wind blows the water white and black.*
