Talk:The Convergence of the Twain

Marshall Brines Drew
I'm going to delete the following sentence: "The poem was also finished by Marshall Brines Drew, a survivor of the Titanic disaster, in 1986." unless someone can clarify what it means. My Google searches have only turned up Wikipedia self-references, and the sentence as it stands doesn't make sense, since Hardy's poem obviously didn't need 'finishing'.

Simon Armitage
Is the Simon Armitage's poem of the same name really of sufficient notability to merit taking up half of this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sideshowbarker (talk • contribs) 02:10, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I certainly don't think so. I'm going to strip it down to a bare minimum. Marieblasdell (talk) 19:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Copyright
Is this poem still covered by copyright? And if so, who holds it? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * And that was only 12 years ago. What's the rush. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

first publication date
Several sources (including this one http://eraofcasualfridays.net/2012/04/23/the-convergence-of-the-twain-thomas-hardys-titanic/) say this poem was first published in 1912. I'm avoiding editing wikipedia these days, but there it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.32.210.172 (talk) 21:02, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, as supported here in Harold Bloom's 2004 Thomas Hardy. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC) Never mind, let us help you out?
