I've come around! I think those lines are three trochees and then a dactyl, as much fun as it is to read them like Hiawatha.

Yeah, I can't really make that last line ("The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd") fit into trochaic tetrameter, stressing "The" just feels wrong. And it doesn't feel like the meter should change in the middle of a sentence!

I'm not 100% convinced I'm right, because he's changing up the meter right after those lines, and maybe those lines are ending on dactyls?

This is trochaic tetrameter, right? It feels like the apostrophe is forcing the reader to say the verb in two syllables – "veil ED" rather than "veiled" which I would say as one syllable.

Weird that he claims that word is untranslatable – isn't what he's describing what the Japanese called "benshi"? Pretty sure there have been a fair number of recreations of this recently: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benshi

There was a Harper's article by Hugh Kenner way back when about the construction of the Gabler edition of Ulysses which talks admiringly about the computer system Gabler was using to reconstruct the text. It did not have lower case.

Might be worth noting the Internet Archive's got a bunch of scans of rave zines: archive.org/details/rave... – they're not sorted very well, and there are probably many on there that aren't under that rubric. No Trip as far as I can tell!

Is that the one that also includes the routine making fun of Russians? I remember thinking that a good commentary track with a historian contextualizing all of the strange stereotypes in that movie would be really helpful, though maybe not likely to happen.
