Pirates of the Caribbean, Tia Dalma. It’s a sonnet. It’s gorgeous and evocative.

An absolutely brilliant Eliot pastiche. What I think is the most genius about this pastiche is the way that she has cleverly combined the formal language of the original with Ray’s slangy speech - and also combined serious imagery and playful humor, which is really much like the show. The particular plays on the original (like malingers/lingers!! grow old/cold!!) are inspired.
