By the way, you're right. What I don't know in theory I hope I know in practice. I'm always a bit abashed when I encounter a true metrist like you or Steele, but the length of vowels I learned at my grandmother's knee, and the strength and breadth of strung together consonants--well, I'm Irish. But so for that matter is Heaney.
