"The introduction of Mr Gladstone into a fictitious scene is defended on the ground that he is largely mythical." --Israel Zangwill, the Big Bow Mystery (1891)

"Gone with the Mullet"

sidewalk littered with crushed snails
tenuous lifeline
his head was torn from neck away
the man they scatter through the fields
lost things returned
the dour equation played back
back to the cephalopods
