Matt,

Your JDS/Frost riff/leg pull  was wonderful.

However, am not sure RMR adjective is correct.  Would opt for something more
along the lines of "icy".  RMR did not care for either his own child
(wouldn't attend her wedding for fear of missing a poem) or his readers.
Auden's line " the Santa Claus of loneliness" and the young poet letters and
the early mushy poems of Book of Pictures and the mushier Stories of God and
The Cornet  have misled the reading public re the true nature of "this
bastard Rilke".

all the best,
Bruce
