Antique Poems Analysed
As the title suggests, this section takes out-of-copyright poems from earlier times and briefly analyses them. You can also hear the poem being read by the person analysing it if your computer can read MP3 files, as it probably can. I am grateful to Dominique Spearey for reading and analysing Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3rd, 1802, Pat Forster for reading and analysing Snowflakes and Robert Nisbet for reading and analysing Spring and Autumn. Ozymandias is all my fault and I can't blame anybody else for this one.
