Happy New Year to you and yours sis, and thank you so much for showering praise which invariably eggs me on to go deeper into literature; they are indeed fascinating. Your poetry too, is a subject of my adorable admiration.

I have thought about putting great thought into poetry to write a works that would reflect what Arnold maintains but it would be my interpretation! I might even think of ways to portray the poem in ways not known as yet! I am being silly, I couldn't get myself to go to that realm! As is your forte, a nicely written essay that was very easy to comprehend! It kept my attention and it flowed as though I were being guided and I enjoyed that immensely! Happy New Year my Bro!
