Words have a fluid pronunciation that changes over time, thus, poetry should be banned

Captain Hygiene posted:Words have a fluid pronunciation that changes over time, thus, poetry should be banned Check out the more recent episodes of Behind the Bastards on Gabriele D'Annunzio, a poet who was largely responsible for the creation of modern fascism. People thought he was some national treasure because his poetry was so good...but he turned out to be a total psycho and used his influence for serious evil.

TS Elliot was a royalist motherfucker and a firm believer in bootstraps, gently caress him and gently caress his hollow men and gently caress his loving Fisher King.

Everyone probably already knows, but just in case there's anyone around who isn't entirely familiar with 300 year old poop jokes - 'boghouse' = toilet, 'close-stool'= toilet 'convenience'=toilet, 'fundamentals' = fundament=arse, 'privy' = toilet. And that last little rhyme is excellent - only very coarse people who know a very coarse word will get it, so no-one can complain it's rude because they'd have to admit they know a very rude word.

I'm pretty sure that books at that time were generally sold only loosely bound, without the cover boards, as proper publisher bindings weren't a common thing at that point. You'd buy it and then get your own binding put on, or things that were published as part works, you'd collect them up and get it bound at the end, so it was probably easier to pull off the pages!
