This is all about poetry, and just the first part reminded me just how much I enjoy it and how many of the classics I've read. I don't know the formal analysis methods (yet), but I've read it, written it, parodied it.
Today, Sunday, on to the second part (and more, pehaps)
Must try not to dive down too many rabbit holes. Yesterday's re-read of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Sir Patrik Spens was quite bad enough.
And now I remember, let me look those up in the OU library. Yes, the Rime, several versions, and some analysis of it. One of the copies I could download has other poems in there as well, including Kubla Khan, and that's one I was trying to remember, too. In both cases a lot of my reaction is still "what was he on?"
One of the articles makes me wonder something similar. "This article reads Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" of 1798 as a visionary speculation on the ground-breaking technologies of its time-the steam engine and early experiments with steamboats.."
