Thanks for the responses on "The Four Seasons." It's been one of my
better received poems. Maybe I should write more bad ones.
It includes a small sort of joke, in that it's sometimes said that
"orange" and "purple" are the two English words which have no rhymes.
No doubt I'm not the first to disprove this. But the master of this
sort of thing was Byron, whose ingenious rhymes in Don Juan culminate,
I think, by his at one point rhyming "intellectual" with "hen-pecked,
you all ...".
