Analysis of Editing

Harold Creggan 1950 (Tadcastor)



When does editing become censorship?
          when it is more than a little slip,
When it takes out of context,
          the completeness of the text,
Changing the intent of meaning,
         repetition may be extreme,
To push forward the meaning of a dream.
