Re: Dr Krolik in Ada (burrowing again)
From
Date
Body
...after Dr Krolik died (in 1886) of a heart attack in his garden, she [Ada] had placed all her live pupae in his open coffin* where he lay, she said, as plump and pink as in vivo. (1.35)
Dear Alexey,
And he was in vivo according to my lights, as you may remember. But I don't recall your ever commenting on that. or am I wrong?

* As Boyd points out in
his "Annotations," a roly-poly old Pole who feeds his maggots in peace
is both Krolik and Polonius, a character in Hamlet (who is at
supper "not where he eats, but where a' is eaten... we fat ourselves for
maggots...").
