That, Geraldine, is what it's usually like, and not just here. Though I
thought that poem got quite a lot of attention.
But people do tend to seize on what is, in a way, to their advantage, that
which pops them on the podium.
And ignore the fact in front of them demanding objective application.
As me now.
I thought that poem was "Mysteriously" good. I've set it aside for further
study.
Likewise my little commentary on the Mirakove poem was ignored (except to
correct my mistakes) presumably because it didn't give anyone any
opportunity to launch their contemporaneity. I saw continuity, where they
saw novelty. Novelty offers more of an opportunity.
But it's certainly true that coot and tern can't come from the same haunt
because one is a freshwater fowl and the other is a sea bird. I still
prefer tern to a word for heron which was obsolete even in Tennyson's day.
There's a spoglifficating wild west wind here today.
