I believe it is the watchman on the platform at Elsinore at the opening of
Hamlet who cries out, "For this relief much thanks!" Them's my sentiments
precisely. Not that I'm a watchman or anything--but I have had several
queries from persons expressing the same sort of withdrawal symptoms that I
was myself feeling. It's also interesting to have discovered how great a
volume of my daily mail is normally constituted by b-greek messages!
I might even resurrect my chorus from that weird Saturday afternoon in
December 96 when a few of us were attempting to put "Jabberwocky" into
Koine Greek:
"TON IABEROUAK KATEKTONAS?
S' ASPAZOMAI, FAEINE PAI!
KALWN KALLISTH hHMERWN!"
ECAIRE KAGKAZWN.
Felicitations all around!
