Hi Doug I concluded, over the weekend, that this poem should be dropped and then I came into work, switched on the email and read Sheila's email and that's made me pause and pause so I have been doing other things, much as a confused cat washes its arse and paws I suppose it is English, yes; but, being culturally English, and having spent so much of my life in this country, I don't see it (no more do I have images of England when I listen to Elgar tho many would have it so) What you say pleases me though, because it hadn't occurred to me how much of the world is now junked in the same litter one of the dark enjoyments when I go to the west side of scilly is walking the coast and seeing what has washed ashore - in generic terms it's probably not much different to Samoa or the Bering Straits (no foxes on scilly though) Thanks for the encouragement. The poem persists with a question mark on its bottom L On Mon, August 15, 2011 15:23, Douglas Barbour wrote: > much of this can be seen elsewhere, Lawrence, but the fox is especially > English... > > > see so fully, finely, & snappishly?
