Things have quieted down here, with no comments for a while. So I'd like to close by thanking Rhina Espaillat for her generosity in helping us read all of these poems through her perceptive eyes. My understanding of and appreciation for several of these poems grew during the course of these discussions. It did amuse me that Rhina didn't figure out the author of Talking to Lord Newborough. I mean, who the hell else here can spell anything in Welsh? Maybe Sam Gwynn!
