Hi grassy,
(Said with a huge grin:) There's so few poets I know talk about other poets
with reverence! Perhaps I just sidle away from such coversations if they
start to happen... Affection's a good word for what I read in the way the
piece is written. And delight is a canny word to describe what I found when
I first read it!
But I didn't read it as carefully as Roger! Sir Sydney, Sir Philip... But
I'm the kind of guy who sometimes still thinks, glancing down an index in a
book of poems, that Lord is Tennyson's middle name... it isn't, is it?
