I agree. And I think it picks up the most speed (where the pacing feels spot on) halfway through and straight to the end. Sometimes it seems that sestinas start slow and ask us to wait, to learn how to read each one in particular and in its time and repetition (perhaps this is simply obvious, given the form). But I have to say, wow: you really are a sestina machine!
It IS a good sestina.
ReplyDeleteTold you I would judge. :P
N.B. Whether I am a good judge or not is still in question. Caveat Scriptor!
