What you wrote here is close to my own opinion on the matter.<br /><br />And, yes, I do plan to commemorate Jack Vance next week.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-63419693962984235352021-08-20T19:39:33.801-04:002021-08-20T19:39:33.801-04:00I don't believe I've ever seen that poem b...I don't believe I've ever seen that poem by CAS; I'll have to look up the complete version.

Nice to see someone recognizing the very real importance of his literary contributions.<br /><br />So, we are getting a post next week to celebrate Jack Vance's birth as well? August 28, 1916 - would have been 105 if he was still with us.Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.com
