on Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning, on June 25, 2003ahhh....this is such a gorgeous poem...i love it more than any poem.
Some notes i took in an english class where we discussed this poem:
-tetrameter (4 feet), with 3x rhyming scheme in one line.
-pathetic fallacie in first few lines...
-stages of undress suggest erotic nature
-she is unable to follow up on her hearts desire which is the narrators complaint on her inconsistancy
-he makes her choose and change, but she wont
-her death is thought to bring her purity, the suggestion of unclean and taintedness, demonstrates this.
-the suggestion of her clear eyes notes that the narrator thinks that she has been purified after he has killed her, that she has been brought back to her "virginal state"
I have more...but i lost the paper that i wrote it on...i can't say how much i adore this work, most work by Browning actually. He was such a vivid and descriptive writer when it came to the macabre, there was also always some sort of hint of the erotic in those works.

on Tartary by Walter de la Mare, on June 23, 2003Tartary
-I always thought it was Tartarus...but that could be me, and Tartarus was definately not something i would want to be Lord/Lady of...seeing as how it's Hades, or the Underworld. But the picture you paint with these words is beautiful, im glad that you decided to share this with everyone. Also reminds me of Hades' softer side, Persephone, Demeters daughter (who was goddess of harvest, nature type things)...like i said, gorgeous imagery in this.
well done!
