  • on Examination at the Womb-Door by Ted Hughes, on January 14, 2005
    ...on the other hand, simply surviving birth means Crow thrashed death in a fair fight. Although death owns every one of us, we've all beaten it.

    We must die, but we have our pride.

  • on Get Drunk by Charles Baudelaire, on November 23, 2004
    Good point, well made.

  • on Tractor by Ted Hughes, on October 4, 2004
    This is predominatly an observation poem; Hughes is trying to start a tractor and takes us throught the physical and mental pain it took to start it. He likens/expresses a lot of the stark, harsh life/death contrasts that come out of the countryside and the farming way of life- these things he grew up with and haunted him throughout. The tractor therefore becomes 'alive' - or rather, almost dead, because it will not start.

  • on Caedmon's Hymn by Caedmon, on October 1, 2004
    Oldpoetry.com did all the translation - I just looked it up. You can find loads of old and international stuff there under your AP log in.
