Ancient Grice

---------------
---------------By J. L. Speranza


---------Grice loved Ancient Greece: he knew it by heart and had walked her (For Greece is feminine in Italian) as a freshman (or fresh man if you must).

As he grew old, he would pun on how ancient _Grice_ had turned to. In one of his most moving, but yet sarcastically self-implicatures unburied by Chapman (the Grice editrix) we read:

"Now,

that my tottering feet

are already engulfed


in the rising mist

of antiquity,

I [should?] make all speed


Ere


it reaches, nay, enters

my head."
