what a pleasure it is to see Diaper's work mentioned here -- the Muses
Library edition came my way here (in the States) years ago pretty
cheaply -- isnt this precisely the sort of text that someone with a
scanner and a heart of gold should mount on a website, the way that has
been done with Beddoes to some degree, that great vanished deathsman?
And why worry about the age of poetry? If you havent read it, it's
new. If it's any good (as Pound suggests) it's news. Imagine the
delight of someone first reading Skelton or Henryson or Barnes or
Doughty.... never having read anything like that in the world.
greetings from high spring, lilacs and cold nights.
