Host's belated intro.
Welcome all. The whole world (and maybe more) awaits. I will go slow so you
can get your copy of The Recognitions and catch up. I will try to so some
salient summarizing soon. (ooh, love that lucky 'literation)
Read my chunk in the predawn darkness one very still moving-into-bird-sounds
mornings. If it wasn't for the darkness, we wouldn't
need the light, as we know.
Jump in. My way of hosting is to try a READING, not just a decoding as some
rightly fear.
As the great Samuel Johnson, great reader, said, Every man is entitled to
express his own opinion and every other man is
entitled to try to knock him down for it.
I will argue but I hope not flamingly. Michael F., I hope you are still on this
list. I apologize in front of all
for that mean-spirited post re Frost's great poem....Bad day, bad choices, bad
buttons pushed...
Your opinions come from a different fountainhead than mine and are therefore
valuable to be encountered.
Please post.
All: please post. I won't look everything up, so anything you want to look up
and post, do jump in. In an anarchic reading,
the host is not THE leader.
