LUCRETIUS VERSUS THE LAKE POETS, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dean, adult education may seem silly Last Line: God bless the dean and make his deanship plenary Subject(s): Education, Adult; Poetry & Poets | |||
Dean , adult education may seem silly. What of it, though? I got some willy-nilly The other evening at your college deanery. And grateful for it (let's not be facetious!) For I thought Epicurus and Lucretius By Nature meant the Whole Goddam Machinery. But you say that in college nomenclature The only meaning possible for Nature In Landor's quatrain would be Pretty Scenery. Which makes opposing it to Art absurd I grant you-if you're sure about the word. God bless the Dean and make his deanship plenary. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
