well Trevor I'm not going to keep up this to-and-fro, no hard feelings I
hope -- I recognise I got too heated, perhaps we should just make do with
our differences
really it achieves little I've come to see, though for my own temper can
be more than a little hazardous
so, sorry for the sniping remarks

Peter -- as far as my mum's concerned, your poetry is just as fancy as any
other: it takes a certain refined Fancy even to wish to discriminate
between one man's crumbling pew and another man's conversion of monomers
into polymers. That there are advanced strategies intended to expose the
character of that discrimination, doesn't seem to me to be cause for great
anxiety; that certain poets might ridicule and seek to discredit those
advanced strategies, also should be quite salutary, I suppose. Still,
punctilio is the reflex of a -proper- mind.
I wonder Peter what you make of JHP's essay, Resistance and Difficulty?
Perhaps you've said before, but I'd like to be reminded, if you have the
time.
I'll be here less and more furtively, other time demands --
sorry for delays with QUID -- I'm about to print it (in 10 minutes,
provided no second meltdown).
Harold, do the passages you quote really seem so similar to you? Does
everyone agree with Harold? I think the Prynne and Coolidge snippets are
utterly different. Must dash -- but will return to this asap --
best to all -- k
