The Sphinx made me laugh. I totally didn't expect the end.

I like Ted Hughes's stuff (studying it). Emily Dickinson is cool, especially 'I could not stop for death'. My fave has to be e.e. cummings.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Meh. School makes me read sanitized stuff. Poe was a nice breath of fresh air.

The texts I'm studying now are pretty perverse, but when I was younger everything was so tame. They keep all the violent and sexy stuff for A level.

Meh..the worst we get is Lives of the Saints. Which has apparently has some incest in it, but that's it.

Depends on how graphic the scene is...I admit to being scared by the cutting out a pound of flesh thing from Merchant of Venice before, but now it's nothing.

You mean, you'd be cool with giving up a pound of your own flesh (or watching it happen to someone else)?

Then again, that might have something to do with desensitization.

I liked Robert Frost, too. He didn't drone on and on and his poems were actually still readable even now. Not like certain people who talk about twixts and oers.

No, I meant the image of a pound of flesh won't be as disturbing to me now because I've seen worse ones, largely thanks to a period of volunteering at the vet's. I've watched the vet I was attached to remove a gigantic tumour from a tortoise. Am I desensitized to that kind of thing? Definitely.

Ew.

Some stupid songs about heroism and folk ballads. Little else.

Robert Frost is the best. The DG ship is named Fire and Ice after his poem. And I liked the "Nothing Gold Can Stay" It was in The Outsiders as well.
