Merc!

I found this little gem going through some old files this morning, thought you might like it.

Some time ago (read: five years ago) I wrote to a guy friend of mine for help on an essay about Antigone. Here's what he had to say:

Antigone, a composite of the prefix Anti, meaning "to not be" or to "undo", and gone, meaning "having left", past tence of "to go". Combining the two results in "to not be gone", resulting in the obvious conclusion that Antigone means "Still Here!"

With love,

A definition worthy of Milliways if ever there was one. ^^
