Err.. Some rather big shoes to fill. Well, I'm delighted and honored to be mistressing the Mastery Forum for a spell. I have no doubt I'll learn as much as I impart. My field of literary expertise (or field of least ignorance, to be more exact), is actually dead Romans (Late Republic and Augustan), and, to a lesser extent, dead Greeks. I'm something of an autodidact when it comes to English lit--meaning that both what I've read, and what I haven't read, could raise eyebrows. I'm not as strong on the living and recently dead as I'd like to be. I have a soft spot for the late Victorians and the Georgian poets (and am a Housman fanatic, as will become evident soon enough). Well, enough of me... I suspect most of you already know all this!

Congrats, Pumpkin.

See you at Harry's?

Well, Alicia, you've already proven critical acumen on the Met Board, so you should do fine here. Consider this a great big smile, rapidly growing archaic.

Alicia, delighted to hear that you're a
Housman fanatic; me too. It would be fun
and maybe instructive to talk about a few
of his masterly poems.

I only wish I had written this verse by Wendy Cope:


I think I am in love with A. E. Housman
Which puts me in a worse-than-usual fix.
No woman ever stood a chance with Housman
AND he's been dead since 1936.

Robert, now don't be a stranger! Expecting to see you here.

Alicia, this looks like the place to be.

Delighted something's going right for a change this week,

Terese
