I asked out of curiosity. As for the dash...You asked why, and I gave you a possible hypothesis. I did not say it was right. I did not say it was even logical. But here is the difference. I can handle knowing that I am antiquated in capitalising the seasons. And I can change that. But I still see no need to indulge in dashes. Esp when I cannot hear them. And that is what I use punctuation for in poetry, as a sort of a hearing aid. A breath belongs here, a semi-breath belongs there. It is how I was taught, both as a writer and as an actor. Now i need to see if I have my copy of When Elephants Last in the Dooryard Bloomed. I am curious, did Bradbury use dashes also?
