"Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl"
'The distance' is obviously 'outside'!
And 'a wildcat did growl'?? Clumsy English!
Dylan wrote a lot of dodgy lines like this. Yet he also wrote some amazing poetry.
I still think he's as deserving of the literature prize as many, for his influence as well as for his skill with words.
