This discussion is getting a bit tedious and repetitive. Don Paterson's quote, now quoted two or three times, does not say what Brownlee says it does. Yet, despite saying he would say no more, he insists it does. It is the comment of an advocate of his point of view. Yet Brownlee insists it is authoritative. I showed that Elizabeth Bishop's poem was a non-opinion, but rather than argue that straight-on, Mr. Brownlee simply assumed I said it was. Mr. Brownlee argued in the most vituperative terms for the existence of a free-verse sonnet, then congratulated Bar for inventing a "new" term, the free-verse sonnet. We could argue into the night, and already have, over things like this, and did again, and are beginning to again. I submit that there is nothing further to be gained from this discussion and that the thread should be locked.
