Feb 8– Oh boy, more Burns…
Summary: Mediocre poems
Commentary: I already complained that Burns got a day in the reading list. I didn't realize he actually gets 8... That puts him ahead of Milton (who I don't love, but is definitely a better poet), Franklin (far superior), and Homer (certainly more influential). He's tied with Emerson, and behind Shakespeare at least.
The poems are still cliché, the dialect is still awkward, and I'm still disappointed.
