Crazy, I was thinking about a thread like this on some of my 500 mile drive
round the country this weekend. (ILE is all pervasive)
I adore the happy prince, it is so beautiful, even more so in frecnh because the
'swallow, swallow, little swallow...' become 'hirondeau, hirondeau, petit
hirondeau' ( i know this because we did thr happy prince as a french play in
my prep school under the auspices of a french teacher who looked like
alaister sim in a wig (a big orange plastic beehive of a wig))
