Or 4 How does Fairburn make Rhyme of the Dead Self such a memorable poem? Rhyme of the Dead Self Tonight I have taken all that I was and strangled him that pale lily-white lad I have choked him with these my hands these claws catching him as he lay a-dreaming in his bed. Then chuckling I dragged out his foolish brains that were full of pretty love-tales heighho the holly and emptied them holus bolus to the drains those dreams of love oh what ruinous folly. 5 He is dead pale youth and he shall not rise on the third day or any other day sloughed like a snakeskin there he lies and he shall not trouble me again for aye. 10 (A R D Fairburn)
