Hi Rosin, I ain't dead yet, and that damn poem can still evoke the same response in me that it did when I first read it in the first half of the last century. I'm sure many others are equally moved by it, but that's no excuse for taking a poetic image and making it into a mindless and nauseating cliche of everyday speech. Excuse me now, I've got to go and dwell in untrodden ways. When I come back, I'll fertilize my cloud of daffodils and hoe my nine bean rows :) David Cameron Ottawa To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
