Please forgive a second intrusion on my part: I just wanted to thank you for some fundamental considerations that this poem led me to think about this morning, and to follow a course, going forward, that will help me to more further organize the stuff I want to post here. When a poem is beautiful, astute, and instructive---as this poem certainly is---then it has a huge impact of the reader. I thank you for helping me today.

Decades ago, I read a commentary on some Poet (who that was, and the source of the commentary I have since forgotten) that suggested that literature only has ten original plots, and that everything else are simply variations on those ten themes. Yet, in reading your poem, I hear this as a joyous rather than debilitating factor, as it means all Poets are really on the same ten pages---an implied unity of diversity, rather than division and disunion. Thanks for posting this.
