Thanks, Tom, James. I'm well at ease with it, for the moment.
Cheers

dear Milner
a nice touch to have the poem in gray/grey !
i might go a bit further and have a greyish blule font printed on a warm ivory colored background
to accentuate the stilton
a fun graphics project to play with
it could have the makings of a nice poster
thanks for once again sharing your outlaw hideout

Looked to see if Yeats was "gray" or "grey" and surprised to see reliable sites quoting both.

Best line to quote in support of "grey:"
In the dark of my room I imagined that I saw again the heavy grey face of the paralytic.
Joyce - Dubliners.

I suspect that Yeats would have used 'grey'. My reasoning is that in my school days, in the 1930s/40s, 'grey' was the taught spelling in this country (UK), and hence probably in Eire also.
SL, you would be a great asset to their editorial staff at Outlaw Poetry.
Thanks all you guys
