[New-Poetry] recently on wordstrumpet: the longfellow ofphilosophy &c.

<By 'Longfellow of Philosophy', do you think he means: Well-regarded by the
general reader, but less well thought of by other philosophers?>

Hi Jim,

That's probably pretty close to what he seems to have meant -- but the essay
I'll quote from tomorrow on wordstrumpet (written by his close associate)
throws a bit more light. No time to type it in today so hope you can check
back at the blog.

I was crazy about Tagore in my teens! Will check that site.

	I not sure where I read it, but Wittgenstein was said to have
enjoyed reading the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore...
