Edwin Muir's The Horses

[lynbrown]

Does anyone know what year this poem was written? I have googled it to no avail. Thanks in advance.

You doing AA100 too?

[sandyRoe]

He died in 1959. So I'd guess it was written some time in the 1950's.

Yes! Snap. i like to be ahead. But I cannot find out when it was written. I know when Muir died, that doesnt really help! Have you done your Cezanne and Cleopatra?

[sandyRoe]

I've just finished the first assignment. I'm debating with myself whether I should e-mail it, and have done with it, or go over it again.

the horses was in his final collection written in 1956

Sandyroe - Dont be too hasty, read it again nearer the due date, just in case you have last minute thoughts. Good luck, I have done mine too and as you can see, am looking to get ahead what with Xmas etc looming.
