I watched a short clip at
Guardian Online Books about a new iPad app from Faber on T S Eliot's
The Waste Land. I was super-impressed. This app, on its own, makes me want an iPad. I added the joke below to the comments section. Silly but I enjoyed myself.
Let us go then, you and I,
To the Apple store and buy, buy, buy
Like an addict stupefied by news`from Faber;
Let us go, like certain half - demented geeks,
Who mutter on for weeks
Through restless nights of world wide web soft sells
Of awesome Apps of which the Guardian tells:
Geeks who need no facile argument
Of insidious intent
To lead me to an overwhelming question ...
I need not ask "What is it?'
I'm hot to trot and make my visit.
forgive me TSE and poetry lovers everywhere ... overcome with pleasure.
The app looks wonderful. What a debt we owe to those excellent folk at Faber (and not for this fascinating product alone).
Must have, must have, must have said the green eyed monster.
