Great choice, George, makes me think of a local girl who made good, Carson McCullers.

"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter"

"The Lonely Hunter," by William Sharp (aka and written as "Fiona MacLeod") is a wonderful poem. Mr. Sharp closely guarded Fiona's identity. Project Gutenberg has published the memoir on Mr. Sharp, written by his wife, in which the dual identities are (partially) explained.

Carson McCullers, of course, took the title of her book from Mr. Sharp's poem.

I posted about it before you, see my first post on this thread.

And what did I win for correctly naming Edgar Allan Poe in one of your "Jeopardy" threads?

And you said that it "makes you think" of Carson McCullers, but you did not state that Ms. McCullers got the line from the poem. "Words matter." You also "suspected that she had" after we wrote our post. Therefore, you only thought of McCullers but did not make any connections, and after we made the connection, you stated that you "suspected that she had." Not sure, though?

Did you know that Fiona MacLeod was a man? Does that make you read the poem (if you read the poem) differently?

No, I haven't read the bio for the poet yet.

I learned how to use an apostrophe around that age.

How about you?

Oh, wait...

when did you learn to drop acid and corrupt a young woman?

Face it, you're a slob waiting to join your brother.

Your turn.

So, no apostrophe lessons for you from your helpful friends Nancy Gene and Pendragon yet?

Or perhaps they tried and your feeble mind just couldn't comprehend it, Senetto?

And so it goes.

Look, fat man, I've posted some photos for you to look at and dream about.

I can't help it if your fat and ugly. Live with it, Zu Bolton must have taught you something in your years of friendship.

I think you're a faggot, not in a sexual way, just a faggot, alone and remembering the acid and good old days.

I must run but will return to see how far you've progressed from the shed.

Senetto, I've seen enough of your photos, you're just a Woody Harelson look alike, and if I want to see him, I'll watch Zombieland again.

Now practice using the apostrophe, if you can comprehend how.

HTH and HAND.

Yes, indeed:

http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2011/06/my-heart-is-lonely-hunter-by-fiona.html

*****

McCullers took the title of her first novel from an old poem by the Scottish poet Fiona Macleod.

This sad, dreamy poem, called “The Lonely Hunter,” is about a girl who mourns her dead lover and thinks about joining him.

It was published in 1896 in the book From the Hills of Dream, a collection of Macleod’s Celtic-flavored poetry.

The line in the poem that inspired McCullers’ book title is the last line in the third verse:

“Green wind from the green-gold branches, what is the song you bring?
What are all songs for me, now, who no more care to sing?
Deep in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to me still,
But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.”

As usual, I learned a lot from your post, George Dance.

For example, that Carson McCullers was directly inspired by the poem, and that Fiona "Was a man, baby!"

And so it goes.

You learned all that from the five lines that George Dance wrote? How exactly did you divine those facts? From the word "sweet?" Or, maybe from "heart is a lonely hunter?"

BTW, you have never read "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," have you?
