Liked most of it, but White Chalk stuck out for me. I tend to go for anything that's got piano, cello or accordion and sounds a bit sad. Of course, I also have this habit of getting tired of music I like right away and growing to love music I wasn't keen on at the start. Hence the high-patheticals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-31026735636507419142011-02-18T17:52:55.911+11:002011-02-18T17:52:55.911+11:00Ooh Alex I love a good hypothetical.

I liked it, especially the last lines Alex has already pointed out. I did, alas, find myself gliding over parts of it; I certainly could have done with a few shorter stanzas instead of one long one (heavens! Can one say such a thing about a Wordsworth poem?).<br /><br />I'm sure that the whole thing will stick a good deal more after a few glasses of wine; I find most things do (I certainly carry on about things more when I've had a few).<br /><br />By the way, do you particularly like this poem? Or are you primarily interested in its subject matter re: revolutions?Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-84613145576649670882011-02-18T16:06:25.221+11:002011-02-18T16:06:25.221+11:00Cheers, Ramon.
