Ha, very good. To tell the truth, what was bouncing around in my head was
Catullus, who realizes that his boyfriend has been two-timing him because he
detects his scent on somebody else; and he says something like "it must be YOU,
and your [anatomical part]!" (I find myself constantly
adapting/repeating/plagiarizing Catullus in my everyday speech -- a very
private joke, that nobody catches. God, what a poet -- to my mind, one of the
founding expressions of Western civilization. I've never understood the
attribution of westernism to the Greeks. To me, they seem like pure orientals.
Tossing their lives away for glory -- how dumb. But Catullus, now him I
understand -- he was a New Yorker.)
