    Still enjoying the noble verses of the legend of Albion. As the poem is long I am reading it by parts. Enjoyed also this 18th century.
    collection.

    A poem by a poet with the name beginning with "X":

    I hadn't the patience to read Keats' epic; I added the audio recording because that's what I used to better enjoy the poem. Yes, the collection is quite nice too

    A rather morose poem... enjoyed; also the analysis!

    The Rubayat looks interesting and complex, but I´ll have to read it later.

    Enjoyed very much... a fanciful blessing by the spectre Charlemagne! Parker is whispering to me about the possibility of a "________ On The Bridge of Moonbeams” in the near future... I'll wait and see what she has in mind

    re: title - If my research analysis holds up it shows that "fragments" and "canceled stanzas", et al were part of Shelleys revision process. Using a search of the word "cancel" in the following document shows that the "canceled stanza" was removed from a greater work, but retained as a stand alone piece... https://www.iqbalcyberlibrary.net/fi...4//IPL0341.pdf

    Sweet poem... enjoyed

    re "canceled stanza": interesting information, tailor, thanks. In fact it works well as a stand alone piece as it´s meaning is complete in itself.

    Enjoyed "Tenmile",interesting how the poet mingles landscape and history. I´m going to put the poem into the other American forum.
