	Pyramus and Thisbe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pyramus was the handsomest youth, and Thisbe the fairest maiden, in all Babylonia, where Semiramis reigned.
		Then cautiously Thisbe stole forth, unobserved by the family, her head covered with a veil, made her way to the monument and sat down under the tree.
		By this time, Thisbe, still trembling with fear, yet wishing not to disappoint her lover, stepped cautiously forth, looking anxiously for the youth, eager to tell him the danger she had escaped.

	Susan Sontag's "Pyramus and Thisbe"
		In this allegorical reinterpretation of Ovid's tale Thisbe represents the human soul, the soul which is pursued by the satanic forces of evil - the lion - and which is liberated by the intercession of her saviour's self-sacrifice.
		Thisbe is afraid of a third generic or historical option, which to her seems even more threatening than either the tragic or the comic: to become "normal".
		But this is Thisbe's worry, not Pyramus's, who queries what the new-won freedom may mean in practice, a reflection quite alien to Thisbe, who already expresses a nostalgic longing for the special status their love may have received by the existence of the Wall.

		When she came to the spot and saw the changed colour of the mulberries she doubted whether it was the same place.

	Summary of Heliodorus' Ethiopian Story
		Apparently, Thisbe had taken up with a rich merchant Nausicles, provoking the jealousy of another courtesan, Arsinoe, who goes to the relatives of Demainete, tells them of Thisbe's machinations, and goads them to prosecuting Knemon's father Aristippos for the illegal death of Demainete, and as a result Aristippos is exiled.
		The trio read the tablet Thisbe had on her, which she had intended to give to Knemon, and we learn that she had been a prisoner of one of the other bandits, although not how she got there.
		He hears a girl lamenting somewhat ambiguously, in Greek, and he thinks that she is really Thisbe and is plunged into deepest despair; but this is all just another example of the malice of the gods, for the woman is Charicleia.

	Bookreporter.com - THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NEW YORK by Thisbe Nissen
		THE GOOD PEOPLE OF NEW YORK, the first novel by short story writer Thisbe Nissen (OUT OF THE GIRL'S ROOM AND INTO THE DARK), is a delightful, funny, moving and very real story about one woman, one man, and the daughter they bring into the world --- and the everyday lives they lead.
		Thisbe Nissen has a crystal ball of a voice that lets her into the tiny fibers of a character's being --- she is a contemporary Edith Wharton, walking that fine line between judgment and storytelling, filling in the blanks without being a Miss Smarty Pants.
		I could go on and on with nice adjectives about Nissen's writing, as alive and entertaining as it is. Life is a wild ride, and Nissen throws us on, strapping us in for the journey, making sure that we care about these characters as much as she obviously does.
