I agree with the praises so far given, but would want to note that the form
certainly helped to construct those dichotomies, as I'm sure you'd agree.
Oh the cycling of a sestina! The glroious repetitions, even when you can
slightly change a term, or at least its grammatical site. A damnably
difficult form, & this is a good one.
