Philaletheia, the disinterested love of scholarly truth, can lead one into some strange places. The connection of the two marginalia is the urge to recover the sense of an ancient text in full and accurately; to probe past the obscurity of poet and translator alike, to what Lycophron's persona thought was to happen in those beds.

Well, currently Charles Fries' American Enlgish Grammar, 1940, and Jacques Barzun's House of Intellect, 1959. But, yes, whenever I see something by the glorious wwh, I stop what I'm doing and read it. Ceci n'est pas un seing.
