How many move ahead in dread of the
editor,
That sternest of depressing
expression-doctors,
Who looks at your work down his long
nose, a slide to hell
and pronounces the whole thing to be
ailing, most unwell,
But the great ones stick that nose in,
and not the whole face,
Work that narrow, ferocious funnel down
from a remarkable brain
Which is pinpointing-finicky and always
engaged.
