This was A. L. Rowse, a fellow Cornish grammar school boy. Hughes did not as
much create a religion as revert, like Cynewulf and Caedmon, to a British
animism. Even for Bede, a known sixth century atavist, it was all too much -
too potent, for him, and he re-rendered it to more anodyne Latin. But I
digress...

I don't think so. I am interested in collaborations. In fact, I would say
that any other point of view is an extreme view, but I don't insist on my
point of view, especially in HLAS which is an enclave of proud zealots of
the first order. [but we will be boring chess players with all this, better
to have asked about another Elizabethan, Greco, and what happened to him -
after being published in Paris in 20 and 21 he was then seen in London in
1624, but was thought to have gone to the West Indies and died there at age
35 - but there are no records I can trace of either a passenger manifest, or
his existance nor death there - the West Indies reports were 'latterly' and
I think came from 1640's, but neither can I cite them firsthand. So what
became of Greco, the Elizabethan player's player?

Any light beer is good with lime! I like dark beer with is good with
porch-work and food.

I don't play poker. I play bridge. I often lead to my weakness in that game
and in this one, and am thought to be 'cunning', especially when I did not
actually lead to my weakness and opponents attack what turns out to be a
strong 6 card suit establishing every one.
Such is rhetoric and stategy. As such are Saxons! One should not be
over-proud of such cunning nor neither despise what trips up the fool in his
great rush. One should accept it for what it is.
Cordially! Phil
