N — My only thought on the subject is wether or not a reader from back in the time would detect something askew about it; sense something they couldn't put their finger on; be unable to match up the indelible yet changeable fingerprint of language in the context of evolution. That's really my only thought. As a rule, I don't enjoy a poem I can't connect with on a linguistic level.

I'm curious, though — do you ever write poetry in a more contemporary tongue? I'd like to read it. It's obvious you have a poet's soul.

Welcome N!
