Thanks Roger, found it now.

Not a good idea on Geraldine's part I'd say: in the first place the Donne
poem she exploits has no direct connection with what she's writing about, in
the second it is not a good idea to extensively quote someone who is so
obviously a better writer, the whole thing reads to me like petulant
graffitti. What I receive from it, what is transmitted, is Geraldine's
desire to be noticed, it is not that I doubt her concerns about the Gulf War
(and why she is so freaked out about poor old Hopkins eludes me) but I don't
feel that splattering one's ego all over the echoes of history is going to
do anything to stop the next murder in Iraq.

Best

dave
