It's a kind of lousy bug that especially tortures the 'dre spirits. You know that William Blake in one of his more famously intense moments drew a portrait of a "flea ghost," by which I guess he meant the ghost of a dead flea. <br /><br />http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/blake-the-ghost-of-a-flea-n05889/<br /><br />But with this 'dre-shig we have a "ghost flea" - and that has to be a animal of a different stripe. I didn't know this word existed, but it should come in handy when I'm in the U.S. where they say bedbugs are spreading like wildfire. Better run. I feel an itch coming on.<br />Yours,<br />DDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.com
