Christopher:

I assume the sentence "ED's 'Decoration' follows" doesn't mean that ED wrote a
Decoration.  If so, is it a poem?  Just checking on my weary brain;  it's been
a long haul on #1393.

And, are the two drafts of 1393 at hand to send to us?  If so, and it's not
too burdensome, I'd love to see them, and don't access to the material.

Thanks for adding further fuel to the conversation.  We'll all sleep tonight,
unless this keeps us awake.
