• on Adolf Hitler by Anonymous European, on June 13, 2006

  I have nothing but respect for this poem because it doesn't dismiss every nature of Adolf. Indeed, Hitler did achieve so many great things, helped his country and proved to be a strong leader (and the author does seem to display a lot of good), however there are still aspects of destruction here. 'One seems cold and hard'. I'm glad they didn't toss that aside. Perhaps the author couldn't go into detail here, but it can be translated in so many ways (even if it was swayed by being a member of the Hitler Youth). I like the fact that the author conveys images of his cold exterior, but beneath that, blood DID run through his veins, and human emotion and tenderness were there, despite the many horrible acts he commanded.
  
  Proves to be an interesting read, anyway.
• on Self-pity by D H Lawrence, on June 3, 2006

  Favourite

  This too is my favourite by D.H.Lawrence, there's just so much meaning that inspires the soul with hope, the fact that if living creatures can move on without pity, why can't we?
• on The Kiss by Anne Sexton, on June 3, 2006

  I like this piece- it's a portrayal of how Sexton could cover a range of topics, images, emotions whilst evoking a bold manner, typically toward the end proving to be most effective. It seems Sexton has also inspired the band 'My Ruin' with their song 'My beautiful flower', starting with the same opening line. Excellent
• on The Explosion by Philip Larkin, on June 3, 2006

  10/10

  Oh Larkin... another piece that depicts the outcry of destruction, yet hinting at that small slither of hope. It's the fact that we as human beings go on despite all things, and the fact that the cycle is neverending that intrigues me the most. Larkin almost seems to contradict his previous beliefs on the afterlife here, yet still manages to leave the reader with a remaining questioning inside their mind. I love the relation of the unbroken egg to new life. Pure brilliance.
