Exquisite haiku :) Wonderful article. "Painting is Poetry Without Sound" is a wonderful rendition of the art of YB and his contemporaries. Being a devotee of Basho he made advances in both the poetic and painting arts :)

I'm with you in doubting that Herrick or his earliest publishers included a smiley face in "To Fortune," but I should note that a 1648 printing of his works (from a copy at the Huntington Library) does indeed feature a colon beside an end parenthesis in this early version of "To Fortune." On the other hand, that collocation also appears on the very next page, in "To Anthea," as well as on the preceding page in a poem called "To M. Denham, on his Prospective Poem." A JPEG of "To Fortune" and "To Anthea", along with bibliographical information can be found for a week or so at http://ow.ly/vN9oO

re: I agree with this author. The poem he cites is also without parenthesis and to have an emoticon one must have an audience that knows what an emoticon is and recognises is, I think.
"The One Certainty"- Rather a sad ,pessimistic poem

"of all the blessings which to man"."of all the blessings which to man" by e e cummings
https://allpoetry.com/of-all-the-blessings-which-to-man
AI Overview of Book 14 of Ovid's "Metamorphoses" primarily focuses on the story of Aeneas, the Trojan hero, culminating in his apotheosis (transformation into a god) after his valiant deeds in battle, signifying the lineage of Rome's founding fathers and their divine connection; this book also features interwoven tales like the story of Picus and Canens, where Circe plays a role, and explores themes of love, transformation, and the power of the gods, often with a focus on the Roman narrative and its origins"
e.e. - almost a normal poem... the word "worth" caught me off guard, expecting "worse"... Enjoyed the poem and analysis :)
