Well, as usual MacArthur dislikes a couple of good
poems, which is his right, God knows---it's a
free country. And as usual he makes the mistake
of criticizing the verse in detail, including
the prosody, thus showing, as usual, that he
knows next to nothing about poetry and less than
nothing about the meters. I'm not complaining---
it's always a barrel of fun to see somebody be
so wrong about so many things.
And it's fun too to find the wildly disaparate
readings of "The Hill Wife."
