Beautiful, Tony. And yes, as Cathy said, "devastating." Huge congrats.

Thanks so much, folks. That was one that took a lot of revision over years to get into shape, so it's nice to hear it's working for you!

Take care, T

This is powerful indeed. And may I add that I've just now been enjoying your splendid translations of Horace in the Able Muse Review.

Tony, you have twisted the sonnet three times, until it says "Give."

Best,

Ed
