David has gone above and beyond in his observations on /Reflections on a 
Marine Venus/.  Let me second his invitation.  Surely someone out there 
cares as much about Durrell's writing as much as David Green and our 
regular cadre of three or four posters?

I'll quote Merwin's "To the Soul," a fine late poem which he read when 
he passed through North Carolina last month:




        Is anyone there
        if so
        are you real
        either way are you
        one or several
        if the latter
        are you all at once
        or do you
        take turns not answering




        Charles
