And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die,
ate the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive him
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

This was SUCH a great episode.
The Coleridge quote about “seeing Kean is like READING Shakespeare by flashes of lightning” is so interesting. His son Charles would often be described as evoking Pre-Raphaelite art on the stage. So fun to think about theatre as embodiment of other art/literary forms
