  • on The Objection To Being Stepped On by Robert Frost, on April 13, 2006

    This is a poem with two levels

    I have written a brief interpretation describing the two levels of this poem. I would be interested in any comments relevant thereto. The interpretation can be read at: http://whendarknessfell.tripod.com/id15.html

  • on Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning, on April 7, 2006

    This poem is historically misinterpreted

    For more than a century Robert Browning's classical poem Porphyria's Lover has been misinterpreted. It has been totally misread as representing wanton acts of depraved sexuality. Nothing could be further from the truth. Porphyria's Lover is about euthanasia, plain and simple. Again, as with my take on After Apple Picking by Robert Frost, which can be found at http://whendarknessfell.tripod.com/ the literary world has chosen to ignore what I have, via another carefully written essay, correctly argued; go to http://porphyriaslover.tripod.com/ In reference to the perceived feasibility of my argument I am herewith soliciting learned opinion by inviting comments, pro or con. Please go to my website and contribute to be a part of some revolutionary thinking. Cheers, J.T. Best
