Susy ?
I read that the dedicacee of this poem, referred to as just "Susy" in the fifth line, has been tentatively identified as a "Suzanne Delacruix", which name appears in manuscript on a Roneotyped version of the poem. I wonder is this not a misreading of the much more common surname "Delacroix". "Delacroix" gives "About 13,700,000 results" in a Google search, "Delacruix" only 527, including references to "The Chaos".

 * Possible but hard to say, and unless we find confirmation in secondary sources, not our place to second guess a MS. – SJ + 15:37, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Copyvio ?
Hello Cwmhiraeth : according to the log, and if I'm not mistaken, you've deleted the whole poem from the article's history as copyvio. But the very same poem is on wikisource, because the author died in 1946, so it's in the public domain? Note that I don't argue for the presence of the full poem (better on wikisource anyway, there's already a link), but could you maybe un-delete the revisions, so as to keep the full history accessible?

 * Someone else is at liberty to replace it if they think fit. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about its copyright status and prefer to err on the side of caution. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:42, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The original version is in the public domain, but we can't use longer versions published after 1927. See wikisource:Wikisource:Copyright discussions/Archives/2017. Nardog (talk) 06:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

What about a phonological transcription?
Is this Wikipedia article the appropriate place to have the poem side by side with a phonological transcription of it? It would be quite illustrative and benefit the reader. I volunteer to do it myself consulting the Wiktionary if it's permissible. FlavianusEP (talk) 13:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I would think that would be WP:OR, and inappropriate. If such a transcription had already been published, it would be good to link to it as an External Link. Pam  D  16:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Why don't we just include the whole poem?
I don't see why the entire poem isn't on this page, in my opinion. RubyPiec (talk) 16:45, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
