Quite a pretty treatment of the theme, with a pleasingly accurate representation in the grid. Fairly straightforward clues meant quite a quick solve, despite the large number of grid entries. Many...

A lucky identification after half a dozen letters of the poet and I was off to a good start as I learned the poem at school, and these things never leave you! As Hedge-sparrow has crammed such a mass...

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I'd had to break off to cook the supper, so I'll confess that with most issues resolved and the highlighting done I had two irritating letters still to enter...

I was lucky enough to start the grid fill the right way round, but in any case the correct way is clear once the fill is well under way. Even with the grid full I had to go back over my rather...

I really enjoyed this one. I was held up a bit in the north-east corner at stage one, got my coloured pens out to keep track of what had to be preserved at stage two, had a chuckle at the elegance of...

I thought this was a very nice idea, but I wish there had been more consistency. Perhaps it wasn't possible to find a fourth theme word that would fit -- it's not my area of expertise. Some nice...

That was fun. I made ridiculously heavy weather of the top right-hand quadrant and the two clued entries with clashes, and I had to check a few entries where I was pretty sure of what they had to be...

We have loved every minute of this magical construction. pdm after pdm with a most satisfactory finish. Congratulations to Xanthippe for a superb compilation.

The theme leapt out at us when we had solved just a couple of clues, but this has not rendered this any less enjoyable. With a full grid, we still have to get the pencils out to draw the thematic...

Nice straightforward clues, so a fairly quick grid fill, with totally unambiguous instructions to follow for the endgame. I had come across the theme before, and I thought this was a very neat...

I thought things were going well until I ground to a halt in the top right corner -- even having the theme identified didn't help me much. Finally got there, though. I hadn't come across the poem...

That was quite a workout! Unlike several recent Listeners where an early guess at the theme helped a lot with the gridfill, this time I could not tackle the endgame until I had worked my way through...

That was fun -- quite a quick solve, but I liked the idea. The one slight niggle I have is that the literal spling has not been 100% carried out -- unless I've made mistakes in at least two entries....

I'm not really surprised that no one has posted yet, as this was something of a toughie. I think that I have it all now (at least I have a grid that fulfills the requirements). At first I thought that...

This was real fun. I'd have struggled with the objects without Google (I understand that other search engines are available). The clues were generally fairly straightforward, though I was held up for...

Thanks, Flying Tortoise (glad you weren't used in the experiment -- if it really took place). Nice to have a hands-on puzzle again. A fairly straightforward set of clues, and very clear instructions....

Had a lucky start because a few of my early solves contained relatively uncommon letters, so the grid-fill could start quickly. Nice clues, with a nice balance of easy and tricky. Once I had the full...

I thought I might be in for a bit of grid-staring, but the penny dropped after about half an hour. The amount of thematic material and the construction of the messages is most impressive. A worthy...

Another pleasant puzzle, with unambiguous clues and a pretty, if straightforward, end-game. Thanks to Little Hare, both for the puzzle and for sending me back to the source of the message....
