[QUOTE="Tratyn Runewind, post: 1218682, member: 685"] Hello, Thanks, barsoomcore. I'm not at all an English-major sort, and my curiosity about literary trends and such is pretty limited, but this subject did get me wondering. Sonnets are considered complicated now? Heck, back when I was taking English Lit, the kids loved them just because they were so darned short. :) "Ozymandias" is my favorite among those I've run across. Interesting. I wouldn't have thought I'd anticipate an actual ongoing literary debate with an offhand musing over a topic that piqued my curiosity on a gaming message board. Strange and mysterious are the ways of scholars... :) Sounds good to me, too. One nice benefit of this is that as your own knowledge grows, you can return to items you liked before, enjoying them again for the reasons you liked them originally, and discovering new things in them that you didn't discern earlier, that let you enjoy them even more. It's happened to me before with many things, ranging from Tolkien to Warner Brothers cartoons. Thanks again! :) [/QUOTE]
