Does anyone else remember fragments of poetry or other literature in everyday conversation? I had it happen twice yesterday:
- Someone said “The time has come,” to which I mentally replied “The walrus said”
- In math class someone referred to “a thin red line” on the board. Immediately I think: “Oh it’s Tommy this and Tommy that and Tommy, mind your soul / But it’s ‘thin red line o’ 'eroes when the drums begin to roll.”
