You knew very well, there would be a quiz

     This was the great nuisance 

     of the Iliad, was it not,

     as all these heroes saw

     each other drain into the 

     sand. One was supposed to

     remember whose son they

     were, where the sun stood

     at the time, who - can you

     believe it - was responsible.

     What is that romance reserved

     for sleep, that sometimes can

     seem not to pertain to waking?
