Yes, that was a spontaneous question that I hadn't really thought
through when I asked. It arose as I wrote the last piece of verse in
that previous email. I'm not much of a fan of prose these days, hence
I'm writing verse. I chose to not even include that piece that evoked
the question. I think it was a weak piece.

The blog is on this page
http://inkatthedevil.blogspot.com/
And the verse is in a PDF book that can be downloaded from that page.
Not as in blog posts. Please see where it says
"The book is provided here as a PDF file; click on the title below
this text or click here to view it. "
Does it still not work?
