The Death of Bowie Gizzardsbane.

"There are some rather persistent stories about an Esperanto instructor who had a crocodile hand puppet. Supposedly he used it when he would occasionally answer a question from a beginner in their native language rather than in Esperanto. Thus, only the krokodilo spoke in any language other than Esperanto." —Dale Gulledge via

In order for me to write.

“Many Mansions

The last majority attained,
And shut from its small house of dust,
Into the heritage of air
The spirit goes because it must:
And halts before the multiple plane
To look more ways than left and right,
And weeping walks its father’s house
Like something homeless in the night:
For now less largely let abroad,
Though but the world they say is mine,
I shiver as I take the road.”

—Léonie Adams (somewhat elucidated here)
