| Sep 22, 2013 at 2:44 | comment | added | Lennart Regebro | I might add references when get more time. I thought the question would get closed, and I also thought the answer was uncontroversial. I still do, in fact. :-) | |
| Sep 21, 2013 at 18:15 | comment | added | user2590 | No. Again: the problem with your answer is that it did not answer the question! The question asks for an explanation, you offer NONE - merely a reference to the poem. In my answer here I explain how an answer should look. Lennart took that route somewhat but failed to present any references. | |
