"So it is you who is to get this letter.
The experiment may not be a success.
There're many others who could do it better,
But I shall not enjoy myself the less."

-- W. H. Auden, Letter to Lord Byron

The whole thing is, oh, very much itself. I'm liking some of the shorter poems and bouncing off some. But Letter to Lord Byron made me laugh and laugh.

That's a very reasonable way of thinking. I shall endeavor to remember it.

Hah!

I like Auden. He's occasionally dense and odd, but I think I would have liked to hold up a bar with the guy.

Yah, I found myself kind of thinking of him as my pal. Thought it was time to take a break and read a bit of Amanda Cross after that.
