One interesting thing about having a million notebooks is that I stumble across long forgotten things, things I recognize ... a little bit.
I was just packing up my bag to go have a pot of tea and do some writing before a yoga class and I grabbed a green, Stuart Hall, 80-sheet, "Clean Scene" wireless notebook. A notebook that i remember exactly when and where I got it, but that's a different story.
I flipped through to see if there were blank pages to use and came across this, in my writing:
Grumio enters the dining room.
Grumio is carrying the peacock.
Clemens carries the wine.
It was so familiar but I had no idea what it was.
It was disorienting.
Did I write that?
Was I crazy?
Drunk?
Is it something I read and copied out because it was important to me?
Why?
Grumio.
So familiar.
Wait .... no, not Gollum.
Grumio.
Who is Grumio?
And then I remembered.
This was Latin homework.
Cambridge Latin Course, Book 1.
What a relief.
