Good to come back to these fresh thoughts. Don't overdo the analysis, though!<br /><br /><b> Hank</b><br />Thanks Hank. Did do!<br /><br /><b>A Cuban in London </b><br />I think I agree with you on both counts - Margaret's and Eliot's. Now I'll own up. The first purpose of the "exercises" was to decide which are the moving pars.<br /><br />Seems you got yourself an A*!<br /><br /><b>ds </b><br />Thanks for the response. I agree re Margarets. It blew me away the first time I read it.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />I like it. I think this is the perfect response.<br /><br /><b>Linda </b><br />Thanks I did. Can recommend <i>Moving Parts</i>!<br /><br /><b>Cloudia </b><br />That analogy works always, I agree. Thanks Cloudia.<br /><br /><b> The Elephant's Child</b><br />Can't argue with any of that. Absolutely right.<br /><br /><b>Rachna </b><br />As I said to Mary: don't overdo the analysis, though!<br /><br /><b>haricot </b><br />So glad you like Margaret's. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Carl </b><br />My favourite occupation! Enjoy!<br /><br /><b>rch </b><br />Thank you so much.

Margaret Atwood blew me away. And <i>Little Gidding</i>is, well, <i>Little Gidding</i> (though I'm with the London Cuban that some parts could be removed from that & it would still make sense). Poetry as watchworks; love that. I will consider things differently.

To me that's the one with the most moving parts. I can't get rid of any, though, for the poem wouldn't make any sense.
