  • on Metamorphoses: Book The Eighth by Ovid, on December 15, 2005
    Current poet laureate? I'm pretty sure Andrew Motion is the current poet laureate in the uk. Ted Hughes has been dead for almost ten years.

    Man, this thing is getting misinterpreted left and right.

    Listen, take a look at the context, really look at the language. Go and track down the act and scene from As You Like It, take a look at who says it and what the significane of that. Seriously, do some thinking for yourselves, people!

  • on My Papa's Waltz by Theodore Roethke, on November 3, 2005
    "There is no abuse in this"

    Wether there is or there isn't, I don't really know. I guess the only way to know for sure is to ask Roethke (which is true of pretty much every poem).

    Either way, it's probably best to stay away from definitives, since none of us know for sure.

  • on The Dark Lady Sonnets (127 - 154) by William Shakespeare, on November 2, 2005
    Sure, no problem:

    If you're citing it in MLA, the format for websites is usually thus;

    Author, last name first. "Webpage Title" Website Title (italicized or underlined, either one), Organization/publisher, date published, date accessed, URL.

    I wrote that particular blurb up there about the Dark Lady Sonnets, so I guess the citation would look like this:
