Mr Henninge has registered amusement over the concluding lines
I suck up the comfort,
lean into bliss,
hang
ten
with my Homer.
Mr. Yost was reminded of Nabokov's character Pnin, who must
assure his students that "On Looking Into Chapman's Homer" is not
a poem about baseball.
Yost was also very much taken by Prof. Ritchie's poem, and also
by the Henry Adams third-person form of narration evolving here.
Yost would also remind readers that this third-person format was
employed by the character Strether in Thomas Pynchon's novel, _V_.
