Grover has no doubt committed all of Richard to heart, but he appears to be
sleeping off his bacchant-like revelries at the recent 'Zoo.
interesting how many hits a Boolean search in the PL for "bacch" + "superstit"
gets, including Rabanus Maurus, John of Salisbury and Alan of Lille.
but not in Richard of St. V., apparently.
