Murray, my Collected Poems does in fact have a full stop between "tint" and "I", as MCP's version states.

BTW, Kavanagh puts a comma after "the worth of passion's pledge" and a dash (--) after "not making hay" in the next line. These 'small things' must be dear to a poet, I guess.

Could I ask a question? Does anyone out there know if 'The Queen of Hearts' is still there on Grafton Street or it was long gone? (I don't remember seeing it when I walked there many years ago.) Sorry, if it were a well-known topic.
