Knowing the cynicism prevalent today, I fear scepticism on the part of some readers-- which I fear will only increase, as I have a VERY STRONG intuition that futher Unicorn poets are going to contact me.<br /><br />The illustration is not Mrs. Lewis. Doubtless a busy housewife doesn't have time for painting ANd poetry.<br /><br />I also liked the poem, and particularly the line you mention! To be honest, I feel Mrs. Lewis still has considerable room for improvement as a poet. I only hope that literary advancement will not injure the naivety and freshness of her artistic vision.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-69692761817165796632018-08-18T09:51:42.323-07:002018-08-18T09:51:42.323-07:00Does this make it officially a School, then? This ...Does this make it officially a School, then? This all seems to have happened amazingly quickly! Wonderful that there is already a Unicorn Poet. May the Movement flourish in defiance of all the ironic, sarcastic, atonal and politically-preoccupied verse there is around.<br /><br />My ha'penny's worth is that I really liked this poem. It makes music of meaning, as I would say all poetry is meant to and rhyme and metre are so rare these days that it is always a delight to find it anywhere. I particularly liked the otherworldly refrain, and the third line of the last verse, 'that faraway country - the country within'. That's a great and memorable line in my view.<br /><br />Is the illustration also Mrs. Lewis's?Dominic Nhttp://some-definite-service.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
