Subject: Desolation Row - a nice pun.

An e-pal of mine, who is not a Dylan fan, noticed the following pun when I
mailed him this verse:

"Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn."

My friend wrote: "Nice pun on 'titan', as Neptune was the son of Saturn, a
titan."

I wonder if Dylan realised it. Or was it just a "coincidence"?
