Dear Charles (that should be safe),
I apologize for getting your name wrong. I don't know how I
did that.
My real first name is Gerald, incidentally. And that's as
far as I go in resemblances to Kinbote's Gerald.
I can't agree with you that proceeding along the lines of
scholarly inquiry is doomed. The novel was not written the
way Frost says poets pick up knowledge like burs--it was
certainly carefully planned.
(I also think that some of the poem is good poetry, though
none of it is as good as Frost's best.)
