After reading T. S Elliot's "night thoughts," as BC of the 12th, I'm also willing to accept "midnight" along with "dozen" as pertaining to "12."MaryAnnSpiegel wrote:Rhapsody on a Windy Night by T.S. Eliot, first line: Twelve O'Clock. [This may be a stretch, as the poem title does not contain a reference to 12]

Note to DPL: I've only recorded the list of the 12 Anathemas. If you are following along with the text, you will need to scroll past the notes and comments to move from one anathema to the next. There is quite alot of text between I and II, but less between the others. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I'll hit that 12 o clock hard in the reading.Sue Anderson wrote: Hi Eva, T.S. Elliot's poem is yours!

I think Shakespeare's "Sonnet 12" isn't on the list? It is a good one, and I would have done it myself but I see there's a single contribution limit this year!
Thank you for volunteering to contribute to the 12th. As to Shakespeare sonnet... as my mother used to say, "if you finish your spinach, you can have dessert..." 
Seriously, since you selected a reading off the list (the lost princesses) and added another (Shakespeare), I think that evens out, and you can read the sonnet too, if you like.

I'm not intending to record either of these two stories myself, but hope to be contributing another piece before long.

Across the Atlantic in a Twelve-Foot Boat looks particularly interesting to me. I recently visited a small-town museum of Norwegian history in Iowa, and they had on display a hand-crafted 25 ft. sailboat which they claimed was the smallest sailboat ever to cross the Atlantic. Apparently not, given this story.
