Thanks for these interesting references to Kingston Harbour. I didn´t know it was that important for Joyce.

A longing for history past and a reunion of home: "O joy when the girdle of England appears!" :)

A poem with "X" in the title:
"They called me to be an extra" X-ray inferno by Miroslava Odalovic
http://www.citatepedia.com/comments.php?id=462635
Love this poem; it touches me on a few levels. 1) My cousin, the actor, ran a theatre in Anchorage, Alaska called Cyrano's with his wife for years... I believe it's closed now. 2) Our local theatre in Coloma (California Gold Discovery site town) has had many from our church act and serve in many capacities. Unfortunately I have never attended either, but will in the future attend our local theatre :) So sad that the poem's theatre was lost :(
"You cannot" - Blake Auden; Choose How You Spend Your Time... https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/po...pend-your-time
re: Wow! I used to participate in a theater group when I still was at the university. We presented a play at the end of each year and in the graduation year it was a collection of poems. That is something you could undertake to with your poetry group, if you don´t have such a group already. All you need is a room to hold your audience and a microphone for a larger audience.
Enjoyed the Blake Auden poem!

I was talked into being in a play in the sixth grade... it was terrifying.
"A new volcano has erupted," - Elizabeth Bishop; Crusoe in England... https://www.thepoetryhour.com/poems/crusoe-in-england
re: Oh my! Well, acting often seems to me a contest between shyness and exibitionism. But, I think declaiming a poem is different. One doesn´t have to act.

Loved Bishop´s take on Robinson Crusoe.

"Come, my fine cat, to my amorous heart; - Charles Baudelaire; The Cat... https://www.poetrycat.com/charles-ba...-amorous-heart
Thanks for the "analysis" of "Babys Way" Shouldn´t the title in English be: "Babys Ways"?
AAII! Baudelaire in highly caty mood!

re: Baby's Way - I believe it is (personal) singular possessive.
Interesting poem alluding to Psalms 2:4.

"The Butterfly's Numidian Gown"The Butterfly's Numidian Gown by Emily Dickinson
http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...oems/7384.html
We had maybe 0.20 m of snow here, no Snowmaggedon for us, with a bit more snow expected. We made an announcement for 4-wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles recommended for church (a bit higher elevation) and cancelled meetings other than Sacrament meeting... got some snow shoveling in.
Lovely poem by Emily :) Found an interesting help in an unexpected place re: "Numidian": https://edl.byu.edu/lexicon/term/555548
