Today, aspects of the blogosphere are making me feel this way, Vassilis - giddy and doubtful - and I'm beginning to wonder whether it's worth the climb.
I read the words, then noticed the title. Adding "Parnassian" it's a different poem entirely. Myriad 'meanings' emerge, depending on who the you is. Use of the adjective "assault" engendered yet another interpretation. Interesting! Thanks Vassilis
Thanks for this response. I wonder if perhaps the responses to your latest posts on your blog are making you feel so ambivalent about it. Your blog is very popular and I assume it consumes a lot of your creative energy--especially when you reply to each comment individually. I don't think I could do that for long and I marvel at people like you and William who do such a damn good job of it!
Annie,
Ah, yes, you've discovered one of my little "ploys"--the title as extension of a poem's meaning! Thanks for responding.
