TATI’s & TONY’s DEAD POET TOUR // A Dirge. by Christina Georgina Rossetti

Why were you born when the snow was falling?
You should have come to the cuckoo’s calling,
Or when grapes are green in the cluster,
Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster
For their far off flying
From summer dying.

Why did you die when the lambs were cropping?
You should have died at the apples’ dropping,
When the grasshopper comes to trouble,
And the wheat-fields are sodden stubble,
And all winds go sighing
For sweet things dying.

TATI’s & TONY’s DEAD POET TOUR // Sea Longing by Sara Teasdale

A thousand miles beyond this sun-steeped wall
Somewhere the waves creep cool along the sand,
The ebbing tide forsakes the listless land
With the old murmur, long and musical;
The windy waves mount up and curve and fall,
And round the rocks the foam blows up like snow,
Tho’ I am inland far, I hear and know,
For I was born the sea’s eternal thrall.
I would that I were there and over me
The cold insistence of the tide would roll,
Quenching this burning thing men call the soul,
Then with the ebbing I should drift and be
Less than the smallest shell along the shoal,
Less than the sea-gulls calling to the sea.

What We Do in the Shadows

It’s a bit weird when you think about it. We’ll go absolutely wild when we’re writing different stuff, but then feel pretty numb when it comes to self-promotion. So we decided we’d be better off showing you what we’re working on at the moment—not tell.

Script Excerpt 1

Yup, that’s right! We’re working on an actual graphic novel! Exciting, wouldn’t you agree? Scripting is seventy-five percent done and we’re experimenting with different art and colouring styles, so it’s full steam ahead!

Cast 1

Of course, we will complete this epic project whether we get financial support or not, but should you decide to treat us to a cup of Ko-fi or even become our Patron then just know that we are eternally grateful to you!

Beware, Art and Neil! Tati and Tony have entered the ring!
