William Blake is to be given some attention on my Blogs soon!

I found his use of poetic language the best as far as telling the non poet that poetry is not to be sneezed at.

The issue of a non poet is really modern, as Ernest Hemmingway James Joyce and Thomas Hardy were living between poetry and prose. 

We forget this and the loss is noticeable.  Ha!

Get to know Lewis Carrol's influences a bit.

A fragment:

I urged "You're wasting time, you know:
     Delay will spoil the venison."
"My heart is wasted with my woe!
     There is no rest--in Venice, on
The Bridge of Sighs!" she quoted low
      From Byron and from Tennyson.

 

Right on.

I found out that I am getting more popular outside of the United States than right here almost!
