Well, I got my computer fixed, & then, again, my posts did not come
thru. I have just been talking to a nice fellow at the university who
has set it up so that I at least got a post to him, & am hoping this
will get thru to you.
Anyway, 3 posts:
I like that, Stephen, but have, ever since reading Olson's 'Projective
Verse,' pretty well believed that the line break itself does that. So
that I simply dont bother with that cap.
I just checked the New Princeton Encyclopedia, but there's nothing
under caps or initial caps, so it's not important enough for a
separate entry....
Hmmnnn
But if we take your point about early written reproductions, with
writing across the page, then the caps might be the indicator of a new
line of verse.
