  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
  like an insect, trapped
  in an enormous box.

  Books lie open on the carpet.

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