Re: Poetry sucks
I just wanted to say that if you have some collections of Classical poetry (Ovid, Homer, Petronius Arbiter, Juvenal, Horace etc) in your room, and a woman you find attractive happens to be in that room, she may well ask you about your favourute poem and if you happen to mention the second elegy in Ovid's Art of Love - which can be found here, she will likely ask you to read it to her and if you do she will be quite delighted and think you a finer and more loving and romantic person than you actually are.
That is all. |

And English departments that force students to read it should be done away with. It's gay. And for an analogy: Poetry : Literature actually worth reading :: Finger paintings by a blind kid with Down Syndrome : Mona Lisa [/ QUOTE ] Didn't read the whole thread but I wanted to point out that music, film, and art all suck too. |

I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true -- Men do not sham Convulsion, Nor simulate, a Throe -- The Eyes glaze once -- and that is Death -- Impossible to feign The Beads upon the Forehead By homely Anguish strung. - Emily Dickenson I love that crazy bitch. |

Re: Poetry sucks
The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner
by Randall Jarrell From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. One of my favorites. I'm also a huge, huge William Blake fan. |
