Deep poetry and that's more Latin than 2 years of high school gave me and I failed it then too.

I really must catch up on TS Eliot... looked at his literary criticism in my Hons year more than at his poetry, which I did in Modernism. I seem to recall Edgar Allen Poe was of the school of crafted rather than spontaneous poetry. (better go back and check).
PS - did you see Eliot's poem read at Margaret Thatcher's funeral? ('Little Gidding' V). Wordsworth's is more accessible..

wow That is a lot of interpretation :-) I wonder if the author of the poem thought of all of that when he wrote it... G-d knows I am not worth to hold a candle to him as a poet but but be that as it may... my muse would totally be squashed by all that knowledge loll and I would probably leave the pen and the blank paper alone and exhausted go to take a nap after all that thinking Sorry but I never understood researching a poem before writing it.. i like poetry because its feeling ... unrehearsed, pure and liquid flowing from the deepest part of the poets being... but, some think I am crazy so... there you have it loll... be well and thanks. This was interesting. i
