Another reply to the why poetry question! It comes with hesitation as if outdated by prose, but that is silly. We need not fear it as part of an older time. Fear does rule many lives and so things go with the mob. Poetry though is closer to the heart and has an interesting way of finding truth. If it is feminine, that reflects the nations poetic sensibilities and nothing else. Perhaps why prose is so dominant in the English language. It’s hard to compare a woman to a summers day or speak of daffodils and not think of little girls. So, girls have sass sometimes that boys do not and are becoming the future anyway.
