Thanks for comments grasshopper and Marylin. I think grasshopper's right
about the several viewpoints, and the stanza you picked out for not matching
was indeed a grafting in from a different think. But the central question in
the poem, is, in what sense were they a couple, so I can't just junk that
stanza. I'll think about that. A critic friend outside the group made a
couple of useful minor word-crits, too. All very helpful.
