Svängde in om Systembolaget ikväll och köpte några öl. Bland annat en Karmeliten. För att skynda på nerkylningen stoppade jag den i frysen. Sen blev jag förstås upptagen med annat och när jag väl kom på att jag lagt in den där så var den helt bottenfrusen. Så nu blev det ingen provsmakning av denna tyska öl.

Sagt av en som helst dricker vin.

Traditionally Sirens had been depicted as human–animal chimeras, but Etty portrayed them as naked young women on an island strewn with decaying corpses.
