C. E. M. Joad quote
#30
Quote:Saying I won't find many epic poems in Coleridge's repertoire is ludicrous, what do you know of romantic poetry anyway? I hope you don't expect me also to find epic sonnets! Confusedhock: :lol:
It doesn't seem like you know the definition of epic poetry, but are interested in mere argumentation instead.

For example you have estimate postmodern poetry as equally valid as normative (i.e. "modern") Western poetry, when it is a perversion of the latter. A person with mere poetical pretensions does not a Milton make, as I said.

Since you seem to be more interested in defense and objections than in definitions, I think I'll refrain from further input.
Multi viri et feminae philosophiam antiquam conservant.
