Mike,
this is well done. It really captures the essence of that evening. I really enjoy Major, though I too wonder about his calmness.
The gun question..that fascinated me. The thoughts on his between-poem-interjections also interest me. I think I need to come back to this several more times. There is a lot to think about here.
His comments on the lyricism of Sexton made me go back and reread "The Double Image" ... The third canto there grabbed me, and it reminded me a bit of the vividness of Major's "blunts" poem -- which I think is my favorite of his.
