Wonderful analysis! Thank you!
This best explanation I heard it ssoooooooooo good ❤ I'm from Iraq and I understand this easily ❤
Thanks, very helpful for my Alevel revision
Great video and good point about Milton’s “syntactical extension” as you call it. That was Milton’s power and the power of his prosody-the most beautiful in the English language so far as I can tell. The passage beginning “God doth not need” is extraordinary.
that was exactly what i wanted, thankyou so much! keep up the good work
Thanks!
Amazing
Could you analyze Keats' odes?
When I started studying literature at university, I was expecting something like this: reading truly great poetry, learning to appreciate and understand it better, to contextualize it, to get to know better the tradition from which these works come, and ultimately learn how to listen to the words of others and see through these words the worlds they saw in our world. Instead, I had to read about eco-feminism, chicks with *icks, all kinds of transfomers and how Derrida and Foucault had demonstrated the truth of the statement that there are neither statements nor truth. I am glad that I left this clown show behind me quickly.
