Excellent Poem of the Week over at Carol Rumens's column in the Graun, with a particularly astute analyst from the columnist.
Made me wonder why I don't read more Dryden. Was quite a fan, back in the day. I've sort of lost touch with some of the masters of the language and now feel the need to plunge into the dynamically metrical. It's a bit like realising you're not listening to enough Haydn. (Or Purcell!)
It all sounds so easy, and provides so much ease - for the ear and the soul.
