~and from our heads will come bright flowers~

Lecturer: We can compare David Lurie to the poet W.B. Yeats. What do we know about Yeats that we can compare with Lurie?
Damien: Well there's the Maud Gonne thing. Lurie sort of imposed himself repeatedly on Melanie and Soraya. He was kind of old for it.
Lecturer: Yes, and we also know that he got monkey testicles implanted at age sixty nine in an attempt to rejuvenate that part of his life. He said it was like a second puberty.
Damien: ...
Lecturer: ... Okay, so we'll move away from Yeats now...
Stuart: Wow, Yeats was awesome!!!
Class: *snigger*

Also as a note to self, 'and then some' is probably not an appropriate term to end a sentence with when addressing your lecturer about the moral message of any novel.
