Ooo, 'Rob fromBooks'? Plagiarism, eh? Crickey, a bit of sticky wicket there.
Ah, no. My mistake. Not plagiarism, merely that I should attempt to write variations on themes. H'm, very Elgar -ish.
Do I like Elgar? Do you know, I don't think I do. Bland and slow. I hate to be thought a philastine, but there you are; one must be honest.
Sorry, back to task.
Borrowing from other people's originality certainly appeals to me and my distressing genetic condition: laziness. (Distressing to other people, that is.) The work book suggests borrowing from The Odyssey or The Inferno. What! I know Dante wrote the latter but that's as much as I know. I made a vague assumption some time ago that it might be slightly whingy and, like most assumptions, I didn't care enough to find out the truth. The Odyssey - Virgil or Homer? I certainly haven't got the inclination to try to appear well educated enough to know who is whom. Was one Greek, one Roman? Was one a nom de plume of the other? Who cares?
......you, possibly.
