Interesting. I don't remember how I arrived at 8em. I Think I was doing some other poems and I needed some quite deep indentations. I don't remember offhand what it was. I just copied the css from whatever it was. It also looked good with the default font size on my T-3. But if I increase the font size the lines start to overflow quite badly. There a couple of layout issue I'm thinking of fixing and I think changing the left margin to 4em would be an improvement. I like a wide margin for short lines but you're right. It should be smaller.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I'm working on the Edwin Markham books at the moment and I had just copied the css from the Thorne book. I do think the narrower margin will work better. Thanks.
