A Nod at Hobson

So what hurts most, I often wonder…
(your deceit’s place is beyond doubt).
My folly, perhaps, when I first fell under
your witch’s spell, before the rout?

Or the greater one, when I should have laughed
at my mock consecration as your God:
the joke revealed when you used my craft
to woo and take to bed a fraud?

Hopped onto your blog from one of your comments on some other blog. How are you related to Shakespeare and Company? I was involved with Shakespeare and Company for the whole of last year, and goes into my travelogs as one of the best places to be.
