Mononymic [Repost With Dedication]

[To the Poet, Snails]


Not just enterainers, but poets and scholars enjoyed the trim

and coy appearance and shelter of a singular mononymn.

I have acquired some proofs---this is not just a wishful whim

of mine, that only the imagination gathers and carries:

in that antiquarian magazine, entitled Notes And Queries.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was able to find copies of the magazine noted from the mid-nineteenth century.  The magazine provided a kind of pre-internet message board for antiquarian---they seem to be largely amateurs---scholars to discuss questions of history, geography and literature.  A good amount of Celtic lore appears to be included.  The use of mononyms is quite interesting in those pages.
