Hi M...Hi Suko, it's great poetry isn't it.<br /><br />Hi Mel this is a good place to start & you can see how that individuals life would chime with him.<br /><br />Hello Brian, yes it would, but with this writer it has added depth to how he saw himself or how he projected himself.<br /><br />Hi Violet, whilst checking him out for this piece, I read that he was more worried that his editor/publisher would die before him & wouldn't be around to publish his works. He was more concerned about his possible legacy than his day to day reality - I think that definitely shows his intent.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-60159846673772140062013-10-21T09:00:56.505+01:002013-10-21T09:00:56.505+01:00Oh, Buk.
