No, you do not spread your net too wide, and it is a joy your net is as wide as it is. Yes the Yorkshire dales are so very lovely, with or without cheeky (or lubberly) lads. And No! (though it was irrelevant to your essay and you didn't mention it), Yorkshiremen are not Scots....you know the rest. And yes, Auden was a very great poet and we should all be glad to write half so well as he did.
Thanks Michael! If I could write half so well as Auden I'd be very pleased 😁 indeed😁 A great poem 'Mountains" of his coming up here one day . "Am I to see in the Lake District then / Another bourgeois invention, like the piano?"
Congrats on reaching the 50 post milestone, Ronald. Good to see Virginia Woolf in the top three!

Looking forward to it Ronald! Where else but here can one find anticlines and anaphora, classics and clastics- all seamlessly folded together!
