I just watched this analysis on Leda and the Swan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4CJ7h3mX4Q
Thought it was pretty good. Anyone else like Nerdwriter?

Apparently if I quote him I will get laid.

Maybe I'm just an autist but whenever I quote writers or poetry the person I'm speaking to just stares at me and changes the subject immediately.
Either my social skills are awful or they just can't appreciate these things.
>>7710667
maybe they don't want to seem stupid and admit they don't know who youre referencing so they change the topic
I do that when I talk to my friends who are big into movies
>>7710667
plebs dude
>>7710667
Nobody cares enough to remember every single line from the shit they read. You're right, you are autistic.

>Not memorizing poetry

Yeats is very well received world round. Why so enthusiastic?
>>7712477
Because he just discovered Yeats and is hoping to validate reading him
>>7710611
I like his vids but the guys is a thrid-wave feminist, which is a real turn-off
T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound are superior poets.
>>7712512
>can't substantiate that claim l
Guys I'm right because my professor said so
>>7712504
dibs bedora

Well, for one, they use post-modern rhyme schemes not found in Yeats with a emphasis on visionary qualities.
A budding buddhist and an amateur atheist.

Literally said nothing of interest or substance. Did you happen to study law?
>>7712541
If you said that to my face, I'd beat your ass.
Cast a cold Eye
On Life, on Death.
Horseman, pass by!
what did he mean by this?
>>7712549
I'd beat your ass harder faggot
>I long for you to discover
>A hot, young and well hung lover.
>One who could pleasure you
>Like I could never do.
What did he mean by this?
>>7712575
What's the nearest Walmart from your house, pussy?
Meme tier genre author with no discernible talent.
>>7712717
Elaborate
>>7712575

Blasphemy. A fascist propagandist and a half.
>>7712504
evidence?
>>7710572
Ephemeral, puffed up, means nothing to me
>>7710619
Not true, Nick Cave taught me that.
>>7712865
Yeats fits right in then
>>7713588
The Second Coming reads as pretty anti all that was going on at the time. But I can't completely disagree with you.
A fascist, a half, and a quarter.
