Glad you think so. By the way, have you ever come across the writer Frederick Rolfe, also known as Baron Corvo? You might find him interesting. This isn't a trick, in this instance, I just thought you might be intrigued. You have a bit in common.

Only by name, and fairly recently, too, though I'm damned if I can think where I would have heard it unless you told me.  I will read whatever you say if the comparison goes beyond churchy homosexuals; they were a dime a dozen in your country back then, you know.

He wrote a novel called Hadrian VII. About an English pope. There's also a book about his life called ''The Quest for Corvo'. I just thought you might find him intriguing.

Cool, thanks, I will try to find them.

I did!  It must have been good for him because he no sooner coughed up a book recommendation, which I take to be the poor creature’s love token of choice, the way a flea-bitten stray queen might proffer a dead bird.

Does he kiss you in private, like Decon?

'Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes'

Haha I am not timeo of you, you old goose; how long have we been fighting?  I have thoroughly sounded your bottom!  Remember this?

Behold all ye that love the Lord
Your champion fey and strange,
Whose capers, armed with Faith’s bright sword,
Your enemies derange!

Rejoice as he, with laughing grace,
His great high horse astride,
Doth render prostrate on his face
Yon villain arch and snide.

His shield, of wit and laughter wove,
The Mocker vainly hews,
And turns aside each brutish shove
With barbs that but amuse.

I wish I could remember rest but I fucking nailed it, you should have just packed it in right there.  And that was even before my magnificent peroration

Begone, foul fiend, return to where
You contemplate your urn;
Your Maker’s marks are everywhere.
Repent, unless ye burn!

No I have barely spoken to either of them privately; I feel somehow that is against the rules.

No, I try to block out everything you write. And there'll be no bottom-sounding for you. Woe betide the first person who prances up my footpath and rings the bell - I'll crack their skull with my cricket bat like it was a Faberge egg.

OMG I remembered another stanza!

To arguments from windy books
He makes an answer plain,
And see how gay his plumage looks
Despite the pouring rain.

I think there were two or three more, that is some good shit.

Shreddie I am sorry, you were being kind and subtle and I was curt.  I see it immediately, down to the dumbbells oh gawd this is going to aggravate certain megalomaniacal tendencies I have done my best to repress, and it is doubtless the anticipation of seeing me consumed by a fire of my own kindling that led you to suggest it, you nasty nasty man.

“And it is precisely because people in my position habitually commit apostasy that I decline to do what is expected of me.”

No, to paraphrase a certain book, each deed is judged solely by its motive, and no label is to be permanently affixed as even the poorest wretch is amenable to cultivation.

I'm not even sure what that means.
