θεός νύ τις ἦ βροτός ἐσσι;

I like Robin Williamson's "Fool's Song (Columbine)," but I really wish he had included the verses Hope Mirrlees wrote for Lud-in-the-Mist (1926).

"There are windfalls of dreams, there's a wolf in the stars,
And Life is a nymph who will never be thine,
With lily, germander, and sops in wine.
With sweet-brier,
And bon-fire,
And strawberry-wire,
And columbine."


My poem "Leukothea's Odyssey 6" has been accepted by Goblin Fruit.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Interesting. I wonder why. Can you see it now?

I can. Thanks!

I don't know why--it said something about "terms of service", but I can't imagine why they would do that when they've never given you (or many others of us) trouble before.

You really do.

I know. Well, sometime in the not-too-distant. I'll keep an eye out in the used book shops.
