kwt, I was forced t' go to a bigger shunary to find "cetology" and never did find "taurinology" but I imagine it to be "study or subject of taurus the bull". Cetology is about whales, as in a whale of a story. Interesting point you make, Hemingstein gets idea about whales frem Mobus us an' applies concept t' toros. To Sue, whet I ment about Hemingstein flattening his prose per Mark Twain wuz thet Twain write more expansively, not wif a log of little details an' lot a li'l emotions. Not picky picky picky. I'll see if'n I can get a exemple fer ya. Hal
: there are similarities between DITA and M-D as : I noted: discussions of eh'S taurinology vs. hm's cetology;addressing the reader directly, etc. : I can also see Fielding -- i.w. the picaresque : Tom Jones vs. TSAR. : Whatever. He also liked Issak Dinneson. I would : imagine he read everyone -- after all, after he : got famous, he got all the books free from Scribners. : I just wondered if he had mentioned Melville by name. : I know he mentioned Turgenev as likeing his work, : but never patterened his after it; like he : did with Cezzane.
