[The Judge]

Thanks jd - I wondered as the poem seemed to fit the idea of a dead city, but it seems a little inconsequential for a 'detailed analysis' somehow.

Yes, I saw that Pyan, that's why I hesitated about calling it a sonnet. I've seen them without the final couplet (eg Manley Hopkins with abba abba cdc dcd and abba abba ccd ccd) but not with the couplet moved up like that. Odd.
