making Wolfe-inspired music

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Oh now.

Now I've done it.

I have this *image* in my head I can't get rid of.  So I'm going to  
inflict it on all the rest of you, because misery shared is misery  
lessened.

It's T.S. Eliot, in a suit, holding a peach, looking down at it,  
worried and concerned.

Then the camera pans a bit to the right, and _Pulp Fiction_-era Samuel  
L. Jackson is standing next to him, with an enormous pistol held to  
his head, shouting, "Well, DO you dare to eat that peach?  DO YOU,  
MOTHERFUCKER?"

I guess that would be "Quentin Tarantino Presents: Prufrock."

(this now has me imagining Quentin Tarantino Directs William Carlos  
Williams' "This Is Just To Say")
