I'm happy that you arrived here, and I'm pleased that you enjoy the blog.<br /><br />It is nice to hear that your interest in poetry was invigorated by discovering Edward Thomas. I can still remember my initial delight at discovering him -- a delight which is still with me. And it is wonderful how one thing leads to another when it comes to poetry and the arts in general.<br /><br />Thank you again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-1408804067748701802012-04-26T11:13:31.665-07:002012-04-26T11:13:31.665-07:00Tim: thank you very much.

And thank you as well for the reminder about Frost's other butterfly poems -- I had forgotten about them.<br /><br />I am looking forward to soon reading your The Art of Robert Frost! (Fellow Frost admirers: Professor Kendall's new book will be published by Yale University Press this spring. He has not asked me to promote it, and I hope he will not mind if I say that I highly recommend it.)<br /><br />Thank you again, Tim.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-49219283483878103912012-04-26T05:46:05.249-07:002012-04-26T05:46:05.249-07:00I have recently stumbled upon your blog - with gre...I have recently stumbled upon your blog - with great pleasure, I might add.<br /><br />I am discovering poems which have avoided me thus far in my life, and artists too. Both are a delight.<br /><br />I once said I never started my education properly until I left school. Now I could say the poetry arm of it was almost dormant before I discovered Edward Thomas, and like your comment about one artist leading to another, I find it is the same with poetry for me.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-40369075741896764102012-04-26T01:04:12.558-07:002012-04-26T01:04:12.558-07:00Very nicely put.

There is also 'My Butterfly' in his first book; and 'The Tuft of Flowers' features a butterfly.Tim Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917270014209480898noreply@blogger.com
