You seem to have “transformed” the sun into a majesty of night!
No, it’s condensed milk – oh, I mean, blood.
To tell you frankly, today’s poem1 seems to me very fine, Sir. But you will find many flaws, probably.
It is an English poem and shows that, in spite of lapses in detail, you are getting hold of the language and its poetic turn. It is not so original as the first one, but excellent poetry.
