This is an accurate statement, if you hold it up to the light, cut it in half and turn it sideways. Tim said Hardy never repeated himself -- which is too bad, since some of his poems are so good I wouldn't mind reading them again, and it would save time. If he'd said Hardy never repeated a form, well. . .

Best,

Ed
