Many thanks for the kind remarks, including to Melanie who put this up before I could stop her. Seriously, thanks very much, Melanie, for your encouragement and enthusiasm.

Clive,

I’m very grateful for your good wishes and, of course, for your help and encouraging remarks about some of my stuff in the last few months. Thanks for all the help.

Catherine,

How nice to hear from you, and that you have read some of my stuff. Thank you very much for your kind remarks

David,
Thank you too for your support and encouragement, and your appreciation of some of my poems in the past, and also for your good wishes here. I’m not quite sure what Proggies are – Proddies, Provies? we’ve got those. This province has lagged a long way behind the South (I grew up in Dublin, though I was born here) for too long, but the poetry, as you say, has been coming along very well. Many thanks again.

Terese,

Many thanks, Terese, you are very kind. Since I’ve just been on this forum for the first time, I’ve read the good news about your translation and your original poem as well. Many, many congratulations, The Yeats version has been a very long term favorite of mine and, while I knew it was from a French original, I didn’t know the Ronsard and your translation is wonderful. Well done. And thank you again for your help on the metric board.

Regards to all,

Oliver.
