Of course, all this only my opinion.

I love that you have sentiment built into your selections! Never been a poetry fan, but there are associations I know I would apply a bias for.

thanks for sharing your selections. I've ordered some DR Harris to try it out and as a point of comparison for the the WSP which has been the best from my limited experience.

I'm reminded of the CS Lewis quote:
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

perhaps a little overstated for the context... but I'd prefer not to go on playing with mud pies if there's a holiday at the sea in play in something better!
