[Opinions] Re: Eulalia/Eulalie
in reply to a message by sprout
As names, I find them depressingly heavy, in spite of their lovely meaning. As a South African, I think immediately of a poem by one of our great literary figures, Uys Krige, who was a war correspondent in WWII, was captured, and wrote a poem in a concentration camp (from which he later escaped) in which he expresses his longing for home and for his daughter Eulalia.
