    Hope you are all well. Californian taifun was in the news yesterday!

    Sad poem. Interesting the inversion between cat and wife.

    Thanx, I am well. Quite a wind and rain event with just a smattering of lightning - no closer than 4-seconds (less than a mile, more than a kilometer) away. Local flooding but ok here. I think we have a break today (Friday) from the rain so we can assess the damage later.

    Interesting, albeit ponderous poem. I enjoyed this line: "This is a poem--a carol of words--these are hints of meanings,", which summed it up for me.

    Well, Petrarca is Petrarca. I still hope to be able sometime to read him in Italian.

    Looked up the expression "To bell the cat". A very opportune poem.

    I agree.

    Interesting poem... can not quite fathom the underlying tension.

    Re: Love Storm-You are right. I thought of a young person dying, maybe a daughter, because it´s an ongoing situation

    Love the last stanza which included the word 'neurasthenic'. Noted the translator was the Father of William Carlos Williams

    "A Funeral Fantasie"- Powerfull and so very German in it´s intense contrasts.

    Enjoyed this poem; found an analysis... https://poemanalysis.com/thomas-hard...om-horsewoman/

    It entered my mind that the "woman" might have been a figurehead perhaps of a sailing ship, though no evidence is given... just a passing thought.

    Thanks for the analysis, tailor! You may be right, as the man was somehow staring at the sea.

    "Rehearsal to Ourselves" a criptic poem.
