"The Lonely Hunter," by William Sharp (aka and written as "Fiona MacLeod") is a wonderful poem. Mr. Sharp closely guarded Fiona's identity. Project Gutenberg has published the memoir on Mr. Sharp, written by his wife, in which the dual identities are (partially) explained.
"William Sharp (Fiona Macleod), A Memoir Compiled by his wife Elizabeth A. Sharp" (1910), by Elizabeth A. Sharp

Carson McCullers, of course, took the title of her book from Mr. Sharp's poem.

And you said that it "makes you think" of Carson McCullers, but you did not state that Ms. McCullers got the line from the poem. "Words matter." You also "suspected that she had" after we wrote our post. Therefore, you only thought of McCullers but did not make any connections, and after we made the connection, you stated that you "suspected that she had." Not sure, though?

Did you know that Fiona MacLeod was a man? Does that make you read the poem (if you read the poem) differently?

Yes, indeed:

http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2011/06/my-heart-is-lonely-hunter-by-fiona.html

*****

McCullers took the title of her first novel from an old poem by the Scottish poet Fiona Macleod.

This sad, dreamy poem, called “The Lonely Hunter,” is about a girl who mourns her dead lover and thinks about joining him.

It was published in 1896 in the book From the Hills of Dream, a collection of Macleod’s Celtic-flavored poetry.

The line in the poem that inspired McCullers’ book title is the last line in the third verse:

“Green wind from the green-gold branches, what is the song you bring?
What are all songs for me, now, who no more care to sing?

Deep in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to me still,

But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.”

As usual, I learned a lot from your post, George Dance.

For example, that Carson McCullers was directly inspired by the poem, and that Fiona "Was a man, baby!"

And so it goes.

You learned all that from the five lines that George Dance wrote? How exactly did you divine those facts? From the word "sweet?" Or, maybe from "heart is a lonely hunter?"

BTW, you have never read "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," have you?

However, that's not what you wrote. You said "from your post, George Dance." George Dance posted exactly once in this thread. The information that you learned came from us. "As usual."

You have never read "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," have you? We didn't think so.

Please give us a review of the book "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," since you have read it and you are a fan. How did she use language? What were the plot devices? Was there a satisfactory conclusion?

Both Donkey and his river friend like to drop author names but have never read any of their books. The movie sounds like a laugh-a-minute: (from Rotten Tomatoes) "In this adaptation of the Carson McCullers novel, John Singer (Alan Arkin), who is deaf and mute, tries to help the people around him. He rents a bedroom in a small Southern town to be closer to his friend, Spiros (Chuck McCann), who is also deaf. John attempts to strike up a friendship with Mick (Sondra Locke), the teenage daughter of his disabled landlord (Biff McGuire), and meets the town drunk (Stacy Keach Jr.). Later, he helps Dr. Copeland confront his failing health."

"Reflections in a Golden Eye" didn't get good reviews. We laughed at the description (again from Rotten Tomatoes): "An Army major (Marlon Brando) with a lusty wife (Elizabeth Taylor) feels homosexual in the 1940s South."

Give us a review, then, of the book (not the movie). FWIW, we don't believe that you read anything but comic books as a teenager. You were not exactly an English language prodigy, and the subject matter of Carson McCullers' books doesn't sound like anything you would ever read.

Posted in its entirety for convenience:

The Lonely Hunter
Green branches, green branches, I see you
beckon; I follow!
Sweet is the place you guard, there in the
rowan-tree hollow.
There he lies in the darkness, under the frail
white flowers,
Heedless at last, in the silence, of these sweet
midsummer hours.

But sweeter, it may be, the moss whereon he
is sleeping now,
And sweeter the fragrant flowers that may
crown his moon-white brow:
And sweeter the shady place deep in an Eden
hollow
Wherein he dreams I am with him---and,
dreaming, whispers, "Follow!"

Green wind from the green-gold branches,
what is the song you bring?
What are all songs for me, now, who no more
care to sing?

Deep in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to
me still,
But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on
a lonely hill.

Green is that hill and lonely, set far in a
shadowy place;
White is the hunter's quarry, a lost-loved hu-
man face:
O hunting heart, shall you find it, with arrow
of failing breath,
Led o'er a green hill lonely by the shadowy
hound of Death?

Green branches, green branches, you sing of
a sorrow olden,
But now it is midsummer weather, earth-
young, sunripe, golden:
Here I stand and I wait, here in the rowan-
tree hollow,
But never a green leaf whispers, "Follow, oh,
Follow, Follow!"

O never a green leaf whispers, where the
green-gold branches swing:
O never a song I hear now, where one was
wont to sing
Here in the heart of Summer, sweet is life to

It's even more important that you stop making false accusations every 5 minutes.

You and your socks are being impersonated for comedic purposes. No one is trying to steal any of your identities. No one is forging your signature on checks.

If you want to whine about impersonations, go ahead. We all know what a big fat crybaby you are.

But nothing insidious or illegal has been happening to you.

You've made a nuisance of yourself here for 20+ years, and folks have naturally taken to mocking and ridiculing you.

You're the butt of an ongoing joke; not the victim of any internet crimes.

Grow up and/or grow a pair.

There is no evidence of my supporting anyone above, Donkey.

There is only evidence of my correcting you on your continued misuse of several words.

Correcting your errors is not supporting the impersonations/attacks.

"Dockery, everyone knows that you haven't published a single poem in
your life except on your own website. Everyone knows no one will
remember you for your 'poems'. The only thing people will remember
you by is the irritating spamming behavior you expose online which gives
Americans an even worse name than they already have. All spammers I
have seen so far were all without a single exception Americans. Why
do you think that is? I'll tell you why: because they get the idea
spoonfed in their education that it's their godgiven right to pollute
the world with their 'opinions' - bolstered under the flag of
'freedom of speech' without any sort of comprehension or reflection what
'freedom' or what 'speech' would be."

Like I said, since you were caught impersonating George Dance (and have admitted to doing it on another newsgroup for years) it's not a surprise you defend and support the forgers and identity thieving impostors, Pendragon.

In other words, why do you lie and misrepresent so much, Michael Pendragon?

No, Donkey. Impersonation is not also known as identity theft or forgery.

The impostors are pretending to by you and your friends solely to make fun of you.

They are not trying to steal your non-existent money, either by forging your name on non-existent checks from your non-existent bank account, or stealing your non-existent credit card.

They are mocking you. Plain and simple.

You could accuse them of being cyberbullies, with some justification. However, since you constantly attack various members of the group, your accusations would be seen as hypocritical at best.

Distinguishing impersonation/mockery from forgery/identity theft is not a defense, Donkey. It's just a matter of using words correctly.

Stop whining and have Dr. Schwimmer or Dr. Barfly explain to you why anonymous posters pretending to be "Will Dockery" in a Usenet group is neither forgery nor identity theft.

And thank you for proving my point: that you're a willfully ignorant, illiterate, sub-moronic fool who would rather continue to use words incorrectly than to tacitly admit that he was mistaken by correcting his usage in future posts.

You have earned your sobriquet of "Donkey" a thousand times over.

Passing yourself off as someone else is an impersonation.

Forgers and identity thieves are criminals attempting to steal money from others.

You haven't any money to steal, so no one is forging your signature, nor do you own a credit card for them to steal via identity theft.

Words matter. Learn what they mean and use them correctly.

Also attempt to pass themselves off as someone else.

And your defense of the impersonating trolls is again noted.

Probably because you're sometimes one yourself?

What about the possibility of posting a poem by William Makepeace Thackeray, G.D...?

Since you were caught and admit to doing it to George Dance here, and to others elsewhere, it isn't surprising that you defend impersonating trolls, being one yourself, Pendragon.
