For the record, it turns out that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, it's my 15-year-old daughter to whom we should hand the family's axe.

Emerson: "No! I shall write upon the lintels of the door post, 'Whim!'"
Meanwhile, Hemingway walks Fitzgerald through a museum to look at the genitalia on classical statues to reassure the latter he was sufficiently endowed, and all of this is a reasonable microcosm of the four writers.

Dunno if it's online - "'The Theban Plays' by Sophocles" is his title. My edition is 1992 from the boxed hardcover set, but I assume the paperback Volume II Sophocles would have the essay, too. Earlier U of Chicago editions might not, as they didn't include the Grene translations of the whole cycle.

I've been rereading those, as chance would have it. David Grene's essay introducing his translations is interesting; among other things, he focuses on the parallels between the Creon of Antigone and the Oedipus of Rex, and Sophocles's developing themes over his career.

I did not recall that instance of the word, but in my defense, Falstaff did not yeet one.

Pizzle!
I don't know that I've ever read or heard that word except for when Arabella threw a pig's at Jude the Obscure.

You post some creepy images, but for me, that one wins.
