Use the newest editions for all the very big poets, and read
widely in them. Read the introductions in these editions.
Spenser Variorum is helpful, but don't let it confuse you by
the quantity.

How's it going? I'm loafing frenziedly wow. [[Fullbright?]] doesn't
say anything. Latest figure I heard is 99% but even that
doesn't lose me. Days of wrath, but will all come through.
I'll have called you when you get there - or haven't I?
You know me!
Affectionately
Bob
