Cycle of Cliches
Well, anyways, I’ll find some other time to talk about it.
That day, our study of Browning’s poem, also started with reading aloud. Himon volunteered and read out the title of the poem as Pat, as in patting someone at their back and then Raiot.
“It’s not Pat Raiot, son! It is pay and then, tree-ate. Say pay, and then tree-ate. Come on, try once more.” And Himon repeated “pay tree-ate” after him. So did the rest of the class.
