All I'm saying is that it's seems to be the title of a Neruda poem, & that
the e-mail format lost all that.
I tend to prefer a few of Page's poems, much more private I guess you'd
say, where her rather florid metaphoric imagination goes to work & 'sees'
things... She;s definitely a poet who came into poetry in the late 30s,
early 40s, out of Auden etc, & sllowly moved toward an openness that, at
its best, can be fine, indeed.
But then, in the Canadian manner, I'm a bit eclectic about these things...
