Kathimerini English Edition,
Greece's International
English Language Newspaper online at
www.ekathimerini.com wrote about a tragic double suicide. two lovers
swallowed a lethal pesticide
called Lammate, the girl is seventeen
only, and still alive in critical condition,
so she wanted to marry this greek boy, oh
I wonder what his name is,
he is dead. she in a coma. Ierapetra saw this all in Crete,
comatose bride of the Lybian Sea perhaps still
breathing, as her beloved second cousin marks the death toll,
he was twentyfour, so they only needed permission
from the families,
to what tragic end were they denied?
***
I wrote an email to rectify the article as it appeared
online in Hungarian: Lammate
was referred to by index.hu as scene of this, their Romeo and Juliet attempt,
erroneously.

Quite off, but I decided to comment long ago and I just forgot that world-saviour thought I had. So here it is, my recommendation; not even literature but a "nice" shinju-adaptation on film: Kitano's debut as an extra and Koji Wakamatsu's ("the Japanese Godard", pfhh..:) best known pink trash; Go Go Second Time Virgin (1969). Check it if you can, it runs around an hour and it's not so "politic" (?) as the director's other films. A nice review in Hungarian here: http://chromatophobia.freeblog.hu/archives/2007/02/10/Koji_Wakamatsu_Go_Go_Second_Time_Virgin_Yuke_yuke_nidome_no_shojo_1969_12/
