    It's the 'bodiless' that's getting to you, isn't it?

      As you know, many of us have developed a keen interest in matters Welsh as a result of reading your messages. This 'sulk' of which you speak - is it an item of nightwear, or some form of resting-place - possibly akin to a hammock? (Please feel free to embellish your explanation with photographs if available).
      In a spirit of nothing more than honest socio-cultural scholasticism
      I remain
      etc. etc.
      If the word is Welsh in origin, the pronunciation would be more like the Saesneg "silk" / "silky" wouldn't it?

        Silky, bodiless nightwear (or hammocks)? This is getting a bit torrid!

        High time for fhg to lead off the Ws if scb doesn't feel worthy of the honour?

          Just let me stay with that image for a moment ...

































          ... Okey-dokey:

          Which W sadly requires no movement in one movement and certainly no stone-throwing?

            That was a bit torrid - My screen seems to have steamed up.

              Are we in a (Philip) glasshouse?

                Not Philip, but a glasshouse is involved.

                  Thank goodness for that! I recently caught, by chance, his Koyaanisqatsi on Private Passions, and have no wish to know more about him.

                      "...the isle is full of noises,
                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          "Sadly" = "Sorrow"
                          "no movement" = "Keep still"
                          and "In the glass/green/hot house"

                          ... all translations of the titles of three of the five Songs.

                          You're neXt!

                            Excellent! A cryptic version of my own Wesendonk "W" a round or two ago... and I didn't spot the connection at all!

                                This isn't Tchaikovsky's diary reference to his homosexuality, is it?
