I took your point right away :\nthat this poem is not consonant with the\nothers. There is too much of me in it and\nnot enough of Fox (the simplistic think\nthat I am Fox,but you know I'm not and\nindeed am attracted to characteristics in\nhim precisely because I haven't them).\nI'll think your points over carefully. The\nfinal arbiter will of course be Peter\nFallon in whose judgment I have a good\ndeal of faith. I am very glad you made\nthese criticisms. But of course the poem\nis not intended to be integral to the body\nof the sequence. Might be better to scrap\nit. We'll see.\n\nRobt Harbinson (Roy's \"Harpingsong\"\n- he wrote \"Song of Erne\") writes infatig-\nably,entertainingly and as egotistically as\nhe knows how. Quote:\"When you go to stay\nwith Derek Stanford again,be sure to let\nme know so that you can come over here for\na meal.... As a bribe (not,I hope,as a\ndeterrent!) I can assure you that I still\nmake homemade wine - 'it sounds good\n","Type":"Text"}}]
