I rather like backwaters, which is precisely why I wallow in the shallows of English literature. :-) As always time is the only true test in such matters. Let's make a date. Come back this way in, oh, let's say fifty years from today. Then you and I can discuss the merits of Hughes. :-)Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-22460438925937070392010-10-12T16:11:16.368-07:002010-10-12T16:11:16.368-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fletch's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402507296202065300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-54603287083382574422010-10-12T16:09:28.002-07:002010-10-12T16:09:28.002-07:00Adam, I better take the first flight to Havana the...Adam, I better take the first flight to Havana then. :-)Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-24902795770731795052010-10-12T15:45:29.038-07:002010-10-12T15:45:29.038-07:00Hardly anyone ever agrees with me, Ana.

I'm accustomed to that. <br /><br />It's not that I dislike Hughes, it's just that reading his stuff makes me feel like I'm rowing up a quiet backwater, while the mighty river of Art glides powerfully on further and further away.<br /><br />Today, we look back at the creative output of the 19th century with a very different sensibility to those who were immersed in it. I think the same shift in appreciation may affect the icons of the 20th C.Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-58156859032886540482010-10-12T15:23:30.474-07:002010-10-12T15:23:30.474-07:00Thanks, Ana.....oh and on a lighter note....

Is it poetry or condensed prose? And this piece is still all about him, isn't it?Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.com
