Marion, I haven't looked at this more or less since I put it up. I'm going to have a bash at it. meanwhile, your bash is a good one. Andrew Marvell's the one for dialogues. No harm in aiming high eh? I also remember a remark of Auden's. hed was an inveterate editor of his own poems, changing them and drpping them because he no longer approved of the sentiments 'the necessary murder' and horrid commie stuf like that, but he did remark that his younger self would have felt horror at the idea of an old fart beinglet loose to ruin his poems. When I was a little boy the idea that I might actuallylive to see in the millenium filled me with disbelief. And now.... What I need is GRANDCHILDREN. My daughters had better look to it.
What you need is another stanza or too. Think tea-set.
