... Poem Please send me some passages from Savitri together with my selections from the blank-verse poetry of Abercrombie that I sent you in order to help me distinguish at a glance "Hyperion from a satyr". Savitri is built on another plan altogether. It is blank verse with out enjambements (except rarely)—each line a thing by itself and arranged in paragraphs of one, two, three, four, five lines ...
