about

Based on Virginia Woolf's scathing takedown of Vivienne Haighwood Eliot (T.S.'s wife). Sorry, Virg: I'm totally Team Vivienne.

lyrics

Oh – Vivienne! Was there ever such a torture since life began!
Oh – Vivienne! Was there ever such a torture since life began!

To bear on one's shoulders,
biting and wriggling and raving and scratching, unwholesome and powdered, did insane, yet sane to the point of insanity.

Reading his letters, thrusting herself on us, coming in wavering trembling ...

This big bag of ferrets.

Oh – Vivienne! Was there ever such a torture since life began!
Oh – Vivienne! Was there ever such a torture since life began!
