Rick, are you suggesting that I might title one of my pieces in a way to tickle John Bull's bullocks? Nevah! (Well, squire, hardly evah....)

Actually, if you can get to the Latin of Catullus 13, I could possibly have rephrased that earlier line above as : Sex, [something Potiphar's wife might have stocked], and Rock and Roll. But despite everything, the bracketed topic is inessential to the arc of this exact work.

Thanks, all, Centigrade to Fahrenheit. Gesundheit.

Default Inter-Library Loan

Chris (who surely knows) and others :
for US residents at least (my experience suggests that southern Canada is covered too), there is Inter-Library Loan available for true fanatics --- and also scholarly researchers. I used it to write this piece. A connection with a library is needed, public or otherwise. Mine is with NYPL in Manhattan. (The Columbia University Classics Department was courteous.) One source I used was fetched from the University of Toronto, which, as you know, is Canadian.

Surely I wouldn't need to resort to ILL to get a copy of London Magazine? I love the Columbia library. I asked them, and they made me a visiting scholar.

Chris, your chops are bigger than mine. Maybe at Columbia you could put in a good word for me, a poor, stumbling man without a Ph.D.

This link to the August/September 2012 issue shows the item's title, but £13.95 is needed to read it outside of the EU, unless, of course, you have a good library card or UK-friendly bookstore handy.

A pity it's not on-line, but the entire piece is debatable academic hot air after all, not very sexy really ... unless women having a reportedly loud private midnight religious party for ladies only at Julius Caesar's town house happen to turn you, in particular, on.

Raise your eyebrows and be counted! Some Romans of the day were definitely not turned on : the Vestals and those officials that prosecuted a certain drag-dressed gate crasher toff bent on lust ...
