Mmmm...Shakespeare
Oct. 8th, 2007 11:24 pmOnce again, it is moderately late and I am devoutly not working on my 2/3 done but irrevocably stuck SLE paper...instead, I am posting on the incredibly random conversation that ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
telyanofcelore and I had today once I was done bitching about how much class sucks when you're sick.
Question that spawned this: What would Keats taste like, as an ice cream? Asked by me to her, because I was reading the Valentine chapter of Shoebox at the time. And we never decided that, and quickly got off ice cream into generally food, but we did conclude:
Yeats is blackberries and marzipan, liberally doused with good Irish whiskey
T. S. Eliot is some kind of edible but halluicinogenic mushroom, possibly sauteed in butter but definitely with some trippy side-effects
Tennyson is trifle
John Donne is Swedish pot roast with prunes
E.A. Robinson is dark, dense chocolate cake covered in raspberry syrup
Walt Whitman is really good apples and whipped cream
Shakespeare is cranberry-apple steamed pudding, drizzled all over with chocolate sauce and butterscotch (which started a side conversation about how Romeo and Juliet was butterscotch - good in small quantities, but as it just over-sweet and rather sticky and just generally unpleasant)
And of course, Oscar Wilde is brandy pudding, set on fire, but I think everyone already knew that
Damn. Now I want to do n=more authors-as-food.
