One for sorrow, two for joy
June 12th, 2005
Wait, wait. If a “murder” is an animal collective noun (in particular of crows), then does that mean the song title “A Murder Of One” is meant to suggest a group, a flock, consisting of just one person/bird/etc.? (Sort of like the old “army of one” motto, but, you know, poetic and stuff.) Because, you know, that Adam guy sure likes his crows. Update: Apparently I am the last to this particular zoolinguistic party.
