He probably also saw Maud as the son he didn't have. (Y'know, being constrained by the patriarchal constructs of the time, or something like that? Nah, I don't understand it, either) And Maud doesn't have an 'e' on the end because I didn't imagine her name to have an 'e' on the end. Yeah, it was my poem.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1147217631190779582006-05-10T09:33:00.000+10:002006-05-10T09:33:00.000+10:00Guns, definitely, though it's up to you.
