To J. V. Cunningham

Applause to you, Professor:  J. V.---cunning

as you deployed your words, not simply slumming,

nor our modern fashion's delight, down-dumbing.

Sometimes you wrote against the smoother grain,

but always, in both soul and sense, humane.

To some, your artistry was wrought in vain,

but I find your bright mastery quite stunning.
