: billy ate a sandwich then died

If you really want to know the whole story, check Benjaman Britten's (SP?) opera by the same name. It has been several years since I have heard it, but the impression that it was a love triangle was so strong that it was painfull. Billy wouldn't play, so he was destroyed.
Britten and Melville were on the same wave-lenght, so I think message came through unaltered.
Forget the sandwich.
