Marshall Brines Drew[edit]

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'.

[1] He was a calligrapher, it seems. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:24, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Armitage[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Copyright[edit]

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

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

first publication date[edit]

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)[reply]

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?[reply]
