Sadly, I read Dirk Gently before I started Coleridge. C. is one of those
poets I have always meant to get around to reading, but (until now) never
have, which is why I chose to do my open assignment this semester on him.
Incidentally, should Kubla Khan come to more than two shortish pages? I know
it was unfinished, but my book appears to have lots of pages missing in
other, more definite places, and I wouldn't like to miss out on half the
poem just because of the negligence of my uni library. (In general, if I
didn't negotiate round said incompetence, I would miss out on about half the
canon!)
Thanks for your help, Jim :-) It is most gratefully received. I hope you're
opening my eyes to a new love.
Love,
Lucy-Ruth
