Dear Wendy
I have taken to heart your implied reproof for my rather puerile way of expressing my view of Tennyson’s "The Eagle" ("really, really annoying") and edited my observations into more sober form.
I still think it’s a poor poem, however!
But as Tom remarked elsewhere a day or so ago, "De gustibus…."
Apart from the Tennyson, I love all your choices!
Best wishes!
