Hi Phillip,

Just a small comment. The repetitions don't work for me. I'm not suggesting 
they shouldn't be there - that is no problem. My issue is that I couldn't 
get a rhythm from them in my reading,  making me wonder if they were the 
right words to repeat (which they should be) or if the presentation of them 
should be patterned more rhythmically than it is to date. The other 
possibility is that I haven't read it as you intended - apologies if so.

Cheers,

Frank
