Ballpark, but no dice... I scoured Baudelaire's works of art criticism and couldn't locate it there last night. I'm almost certain it is from the latter 19th century or very early 20th century. Not...
I've been meditating on it and I think it might be from either Rimbaud or one of the Symbolists. I need to remember because I need the term to satisfy my ceaseless thinking.
There is a specific terminology in poetry (or art in general) that I absolutely cannot remember.
I can't remember who coined the phrase or else I might have been able to search for it.

That's an inspiring observation.
I can't penetrate the rhyme scheme. Try removing it temporarily.
Line 10 made me laugh. Shouldn't line 13 read, "to" rather than "into"?
Also what I garnered, although I haven't yet deduced the significance.
I shouldn't have submitted this because it isn't a poem, but a description of a nightmare I had recently. I realize that it's quite bad (worse than my usual fare), but I don't understand why it is...
This reads like a horseless carousel. It has momentum.
But there is no context.

I'm glad that you have so little to read that you can treat it like fine wine. I'd love to partake in such lackadaisical indulgences, but I'm not a wealthy connoisseur. I don't read for...
For me it's a matter of idealism versus reality. If I had all the time in the world, I would use it. As I do not, I am trying to adapt in order to read everything I need to read. I used to have the...
I agree that getting the distance perfect and adjusting the field of vision is very crucial. As for identifying which parts of the text are important - and worth spending more time on- I think I have...
The goal is to make my "fully engrossed" reading faster, not see how quickly I can scan over the words.
No doubt that Joyce will be slower to fully comprehend than other authors such as Dickens. But I suppose my point is: I'm not interested in relativism (some people read faster than others, some...
How can you improve the speed of quality reading?
For example, when I was buried in steep literature classes a couple years ago, I remember being able to blaze through works with a very high rate...
There is a lot of emotionally energized contrast in this poem. Along with the plain, truth-honed words, the poem paints a very stark and real image. I appreciated it for that. But what also caught my...
Do you think it's a realistic expectation that citizens with small arms would have any impact against systems like predator drones? The notion seems a tad more wishful than reasonable. I don't think...
What a bizarre attitude for a newcomer to bring to a forum community that thrives on sharing and openness.
Delta, I love how you wrangle new shadowy meanings into these traditional images. Someone...
Really, a great piece. You overtake your landscape with some captivating visions. Plus it sounds great.
I read this as marriage as an harbinger. It has a nice effect.
You convey the bitter-sweet undercurrents of a shared unconsciousness in those precise little lines of yours.
A great subject for a frustrated form of limerick.
I like the way you pepper us with fragmented lines. The form is very well suited to the emotions of impending storms.
I found myself stuck in this poem for considerably longer than four lines. Very fun to read and reread.
