Mademoiselle de Mill Lane
declines even to talk to my blog these days, and hasn’t asked the obvious question: ‘Why
Shu-Shu?’
Because it sounds Japanese to me, and I imagine her looking
excellent encased in a kimono with her face painted white and a knitting needle
stuck in her hair. I doubt she would agree.
And since I haven’t seen her since the day after Noah’s Ark
ran aground, I thought the fact might be worth commemorating with a ditty.
My dear Lady Sarah
Now, should I compare
her
To moonlight and rosebuds and stars?
Or would it be fairer
To say that she’s
rarer
Than fairgrounds and
fig trees on Mars?
