Thanks, Mike
Lurking here in my dotage, but still eavesdropping occasionally.
A propos Robert Frost, there's a fine poem in thee opening volume of his
North of Boston where he talks of not mortality, but rather
pre-existence and then of
a full life--no mortality, mind you, but rather first half of Perhaps an
eternal existence.
I forget the name of the poem, but it's first one in his his first
remarkable.........
Wait!! It's "The Trial BY Existence".
Not gone yet and still vertical,
Bill Ball
