To this task he brought an exceptionally large and varied poetic vocabulary, and it fecundity in metaphor with appears unique in contemporary poetry.

The defense of international law is one of the most valid justifications for the use of armed force and it is unfortunate that the Brooks House Poll failed to provide for the expression of opinions concerning individual action in this contingency...
