"Seyton!"


I'm thinking of a particular speech from Shakespeare's Macbeth: 
V.III. 23-34.  (Seyton is Macbeth's retainer and body-servant.)

Long ago, I wrote what I felt was a successful piece explicating Lord Byron's use of this same passage in his own masterpiece Don Juan.  I should hunt up those old words and see if there's any validity still there.  In the interim, I'll reread that piece from the Scottish play.

Big Mouth Bassa Nova

Big Mouth (with Little Fish): sculpture mix; jade green, denim, floating blue, and a bit of shiny black glazing, dripped and layered.
