First to Chris Bruce:
I recognized the lines from Prufrock, but I'd never come across the
word "matutinal". Being a good ole Catholic boy, I was well
familiar with matins, of course, but dismissed any possible
connection with matutinal. Well, obviously I'm the one who should
be dismissed. Thank's for the addition to my vocabulary. Now in
hope of humiliating you, do you know the word "tergiversate"?
[Sorry for the long delay - by e-mail standards - in replying - I was
away in Bremen for a few days.]
I was looking for you to identify my cryptic reference to the Allman
Brothers; specifically the song 'Blue Sky' on the EAT A PEACH album.
Are you not a fan (is that not obligatory for Southern 'boys' of your
age)?
I did not know the term 'tergiversate' - and shall add it to my
vocabulary.

Kiel, Germany
