Cally, it doesn't surprise me. The host's reaction was understandable and pretty much my own. David is a very good articulator of the need for poetry's heart to balance its head. When you popped in and reminded him of the Macbeth quote it made me think of whenever I have to read that scene with students. I have to be very careful to think about something else when I'm reading 'all my pretty chickens' aloud — a weeping teacher is not a good look.
