The Will to Science

[dukealien]

Starting the poem on the trochee with "Will" is an excellent use of emphasis, and exactly the right decision in my opinion.  

The more I read it, the more I'm loving your use of "ignominious"

"One" fixes the "a" stress problem nicely, well done.  And I do like "affirm" instead of "assent" -- these are great edits.

Thank you kindly.  When editing my own stuff, I find I can read it twenty times over several weeks and make improvements - but never spot obvious errors and problems.  Whereas a second set of eyes picks them right up, directing my meager talent where it's needed.
