nothing like the sun

Jag, I think gaiters are what you hold up with garters. Uh, I guess not, actually. (I learned a new word: greave!)

TheQueen, I’d be very surprised if Wikipedia covered the filthy filthy filth I’m talking about — not because it’s filthy filthy, but because it’s a little arcane. I only sussed out most of it while writing a paper on a few of the sonnets. My prof has encouraged me to polish the piece for publication, so I’m not keen to outline it here. If you’re curious, a few hours with the OED and the sonnet in hand would be very fruitful, though… and more than a bit scandalous.
