Well, thee and me might have known but it's not the answer, although a nice bit of trivia. Talking of which, for the C linking Croatia and Rome, did you know James Joyce spent the Winter of 1904 at Pula, which is on the Croatian coast? It was, supposedly, the inspiration for Ulysesses and there is a statue of him there. -

The very same - and I thought perhaps the Cow-fancier was Howard Keel though I must admit to having difficulty in pinning him down to a particular herd!Originally posted by Flay View PostHenry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. He and his friend Sir Thomas Wyatt were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
