Thanks to Dan Pearlman for further reminiscences. On a different but not unrelated topic: Geoffrey Hill's strange new book-length poem, *The Triumph of Love* (Houghton Mifflin 1998/Penguin 1999), contains the following lines in section (canto?) CXLVI: "Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's mark: Mosaic statute, to which Ruskin was steadfast. (If Pound had stood so, he might not have foundered.)" Does anyone have any idea what Hill is getting at here? Richard Edwards London ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
