Have to say though that the prospect of going back and looking at PILGRIM'S REGRESS again fills me with extreme reluctance, given that I think it's one of his worse books, so I might not get around to it anytime soon.<br /><br />On the other hand if I remember rightly he does lambast Yeats in DYMER and later made a public apology for that, Yeats having been the major influence on CSL's early poetry (the SPIRITS IN BONDAGE era). So an attack on a poet in his early books might not equate to a lifelong disdain for that poet's work (such as he had for Eliot's poetry).<br /><br />--John R.John D.
