My blog proofreader must have been on vacation this week and noticed that  
the quote I directed people to had a stray comma, a missing comma and a missing  
hypen. Here it is corrected... 
At one point in The Orchards of Syon (XXIII) I say ‘I write / to  astonish 
myself’. This self-astonishment is achieved when, by some process I  can’t 
fathom, common words are moved, or move themselves, into clusters of  meaning so 
intense that they seem to stand up from the page, three-dimensional  almost. 
--Geoffrey Hill
