I have to say, Jim, that I enjoyed the article by A. O. Scott more than I enjoyed the actual poem.
To put it another way, I think Scott's analysis makes the poem appear much better than, in reality, it is.
So... er... no, I didn't fall in love with the poem, being brutally honest. However, like you, I feel like reading more of Scott's writing, so thanks for the introduction.
