EnnuiTea leaves thwart those who court catastrophe, designing futures where nothing will occur:cross the gypsy’s palm and yawning shewill still predict no perils left to conquer. Jeopardy is jejune now: naïve knightfinds ogres out-of-date and dragons unheardof, while blasé princesses indicttilts at terror as downright absurd. The beast in Jamesian grove will never jump, compelling hero’s dull career to crisis;and when insouciant angels play God’s trump, while bored arena crowds for once look eager, hoping toward havoc, neither pleas nor prizesshall coax from doom’s blank door lady or tiger. Sylvia Plath
