The best poets are said to be German: Holderin, etc.
Is this the result of a CNN poll?
"The Waste Land" by Eliot, was basically a waste. In the DVD -- I own this
film club, "I'll wait for the film version" -- "Tom and Viv", Viv is
credited with the best lines in Waste Land including title, and April is the
most cruel [sic] of months", which Eliot misunderstood, as "April is a sick
cruellest month".
'April is the cruellest month...' (Eliot)
Accuracy before parody, mon mieux.
In general, poetry thrived in Lesbos -- Sappho and Alcepius. There was a
recent controversy and scandal in Lesbos. A man, a Lesbian, sued the
government for the use of "Lesbian". He lost it.
Do you mean that Homer was reciting in prose?
