You got me there, Dom :-)
Some elements are accidental -- I usually gravitate towards
a roughly-iambic line, particularly tetrameter; also towards
rhyme these days. Section 2, though, the last to be written
(in a single day, after working and re-working this poem for
12 years) is more than half-consciously following Hill for its
effect.
Very much enjoyed Pen's work in progress --
>To avoid ordinary confusion, the saint, like the
pornographer, lights on one thing to the exclusion
of others. This is called purity.<
Excellent. Please post the finished article as and when . . . .
