Looking forward to receiving my loyalty card, Carl.
(I might add that I find myself drawn more to Mandelstam than to Pushkin at the moment. As I might be more to Plath, say, than to Byron. Although I like a bit of Byron. Perhaps I just don't know enough Pushkin, although I do, somehow - almost unaccountably - own a copy of the T.J. Binyon biography.)
It also occurs to me that "flap on and flutter" is quite nicely onomatopoeic.
