larryhammerThings have been up and down here (yays include surviving the birthday party with toddlers), thus my relative silence of late, but with my new job starting tomorrow, I'm hoping things are evening out and the usual linkalicious postings will resume. In the meantime, some poems:
Another example of a forgotten good one: "Nocturne" by Gerald Griffin.
An interesting exercise: compare "Ode—Autumn" by Thomas Hood with Keats's more famous poem on the same subject. I honestly can't tell if it's trying to elaborate on its model or argue with it -- which probably means both, which is more subtle than I usually expect for Hood (who is remembered today almost entirely for this one poem).
And then there's "A Protest" by Arthur Hugh Clough. That is very much how it feels.
