You'd been reading Shelley before you wrote this. Am I right?

May I republish this in Global Eyes?

At this remove of time I couldn’t say. It’s possible, though. “The Poetical Works of Shelley” stands on my bookshelf next to—get this—“Rudyard Kipling’s Verse.” Incidentally, Claire, as you’ve lived in Turkey I suppose that you too have visited Ephesus. It’s quite a place, isn’t it?

As for the poem, why, if you think it’s up to snuff please do feel free to republish it in Global Eyes.
