Oh dear oh dear, long time no blog. I've been working hard over the summer but hope to be working less hard as of about today and to come back to the blog. Here in the meantime is something I've been meaning to do for a while now.
Having only just discovered the LOLcat translation of T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land', a
mere 5 years after it was written, I'm reminded that someone once asked
me for a similar translation of Sylvia Plath. So here it is.

Not all words are created equal – and those that sound more surprising are
more likely to grab our attention and stick in our memory.
