I'm really delighted you liked it, Rupert, and your response to it is
pretty much the same as my own. The mind is there as well as the
heart and the tongue, but it's through them, I feel that the mind
happens here. Certainly, it's not the mind prescribing the poem.
I'll pass on your comments, as I did the last time. Boy, was he pleased!
Best,
