  Sì, so che Wendy Cope odia le sue poesie vengano riprodotte a sbafo su Internet. Ma come si fa a resistere?
  Ce n'è una anche sull'inconscio di Ted Hughes, e una sui trattini di Emily Dickinson, e riesce perfino a sfottere Larkin (ma lui avrebbe ghignato parecchio).

  At 3 a.m.

  the room contains no sound
  except the ticking of the clock
  which has begun to panic

  and beside you there's a woman
  who is crying quietly
  so you won't wake.
