I've been trying for ages to pin down one of my beloved Owen's homoerotic poems, without success. I didn't realise it had changed its name so I was looking for the wrong thing. So here is Lines to a Beauty seen in Limehouse, in Wilfred's own hand, with his own amendments. Stunning stuff - shame it was never finished.

I find something moving about the places where he crossed things out, and put other things in. You can almost see his thoughts. Different than reading a poem in a printed book.

Thank you for posting this-- it is quite special.

Oh yes, indeed. There are loads of examples of his work in that archive, with amendments. Who is the god of Cannongate is another poem in a similar vein.

I know some of the folk who have been involved in the Great War projects at Oxford. They've produced some really fabulous resources.

I haven't had a chance to read this poem yet. I'm saving it for when I have proper time to appreciate it.

*nods* And the Turing archive at King's is great, as well.

I think you'll enjoy it, when you have time to do it justice.
