"Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven..."

Charles McGrath has been keeping busy since leaving the Sunday book review; in today's NYT he profiles Christopher Ricks, Oxford professor of poetry and Dylan enthusiast, noting that "it's a tossup whether he or Harold Bloom knows more English verse by heart, but Mr. Ricks surely knows more Led Zeppelin lyrics than Mr. Bloom does, and can recite them on request."

I'm guessing that when he does, he sounds like Leonard Teale.
