Reading the comments to my previous post, I found this melancholy epigram drifting through my head more or less fully formed....

Tom Eliot, I feel your pain:
Why won't words stay where they've been shoved?
I took a lover and slept with him,
And yet we neither slept nor loved.

Now you've gone and made me think of Anne McCaffrey, darn it.

For that, no apology is necessary, I hope.
