SoS immediately reminded *me* of The Sensual World, and the inspiration
(rather the source) for that song.  I seem to remember hearing that she
wasn't allowed to quote James Joyce's _Ulysses_ verbatim, so she just
paraphrased... it sounds really "neat", too.  Although I was slightly
(oh, ever so slightly) disappointed by SoS because here were some of the
most beautiful words in the Bible, and no one's estate stopping you from
putting it all to music, but all she did was take a few lines and throw 
them in one of the verses.  TSW, on the other hand, brought so much more
out of _Ulysses_ to me... anyone ever think much about comparing these
songs?
