Someone has left a spear stuck in the sand

Oh, hell! Christopher Logue. And the sixth volume of War Music still unfinished.

Achilles' face
Is like a chalkpit fringed with roaring wheat.
His brain says: "Kill him. Let the Greeks sail home."
His thigh steels flex.

I am totally watching him as Swinburne in Ken Russell's Dante's Inferno (1967).

Oh, fuck. I quite liked War Music.

I quite liked War Music.

I know it is the common fate of epics to be left incomplete, or at least unrevised, but I really resent when it happens.
