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.

Ah yes: "Post coitum omne animal triste."

Tami Whitehead pointed out the Gravesean 13-month lunar calendar in THE
WHITE GODDESS.  Yes, precisely: the thing is there, already made, with
names (based on trees like "Wild Apple") and dates and spine-tingling
festivals.  Part and parcel of the big Graves "White Goddess" package.  And
I do not detect any details pointing towards such a system in TAD.
