• Added a quotation: “‘I’m not actually in pain. I just – well, there’s a girl I used to know, and i wasn’t sure if I should find her and talk to her or if I should just forget about it.’ “Oh! You must go to her and implore her. You must call her your Terpsichore, your Echo, your Clytemnestra. You must write poems for her, mighty odes – I shall help you write them – and thus – and only thus – shall you win your true love’s heart.””Bod on whether he should talk to scarlett, and Nehemiah Trot the poet on love.
