As a matter of fact & conjecture, dear patient Reader, I think we're just beginning to discover
the weirdness of it all. . .
Henry goes back to Berryman, looking for traces of himself. . .
& discovers anew what Berryman was doing
with his long poem. . .
which was in part to answer Pound & Eliot et al.
with the spirit of Yeats (whom they thought to have superceded)
& to answer the spirit of Yeats
with Berryman (& Shkspr, & Spenser. . .)
why is this important?
because the silly men et al.
have got it all wrong. . .
