Re: Sea Sis,

Because he wanted to break away from his times, his poetry was a mixture of  both: from the outmoded style of the pre-romantics to romanticism. Any author who roams and generalizes across such massive expanses of time and space invites criticism. No doubt, he was a genius in his own right, second only to Thomas Gray. Thank you Sis

Perhaps he was not to everyone's taste. Perhaps he tried too hard. But perhaps he was a genius. What is your opinion? Thank you again, dear guru.
