Very thoughtful post.
One note about diction: “reactionary” typically connotes an extreme kind of conservatism. All artists react to their historical and cultural contexts in one way or another, but a […]

Oh, and P.S.: The phrase is actually “fugitive and cloistered”–though I do like the adjective “encloistered.”

This is indeed a difficult question. Whoever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter? It all depends on “free and open.” I tend to think that if it’s really a free and open encounter, truth will […]

“To scare myself with my own desert places”: if “with my own” is an anapest, that leaves two trochees afterward, for a total of three substitutions in a five-foot line. That’s plausible. It also works, and is so […]

Very interesting–thanks for sharing this. There’s an analogous distinction in choral singing between a breath and a lift. A breath takes a perceptible amount of time; it’s like a very brief pause. A lift, by contr […]

I’ll echo what both of you have already very eloquently said, and add that Schnackenberg is especially gifted at evoking rapidly shifting scales, from small to large and back again, with powerful connections m […]

And there’s Bob Dylan in “It’s Alright, Ma, I’m Only Bleeding”: “he not busy being born is busy dying.”

I really like your exploration here, and want to second your classmates’ appreciation. Epics become “literary” when they’re written down, and epic poets like Virgil and Milton are very deliberate and self-aw […]

There’s so much to admire in this post that I hardly know where to begin. I’ll just say a few things here. One is that the phrase “enigmatic and resilient images” is perfect. It’s not every day one writes a […]

Several thoughts here. I’ll just jump in and number them so I have at least the illusion I’m being cogent. ????
1. I did not notice a problem with your reading this line. Since I can’t remember why I didn’ […] -

I’m pretty sure “it” in that sentence is “beauty.” Beauty inspires us to aspire to enduring certitude, though beauty, as Scarry observes, does not itself fulfill that aspiration.
It’s also worth noting that […] -

Great post and great comments following. I’d never considered Adam’s debate with God as Adam’s conceptualizing something new–in essence, finding his way to a new idea that the spirited debate has provoked him to […]
