Seeing Is Believing
By the end of the 18th century literary art and more specifically poetry came upon its greatest stimulant, Romanticism.

Poems that previously seemed somewhat cumbersome and supercilious, (kind of like using the word, supercilious in this sentence), now had a context in my mind, and that made all the difference. I don't believe it would ever be possible except on a personal level, but if we spent as much time, perhaps even more time on the writers and what went into writing this magnificent poetry and prose, it would make more sense. But I think that would require almost whole classes dedicated to individual authors and poets. (As if college didn't take long enough as it is, right?). I guess it's just too bad that there isn't a movie like Haunted Summer for every one of the poets we've read this semester, or if there is, which I don't know, more time to watch them. I understand that all people tend to learn differently, but personally, I benefited so much more by...
