I have no idea whether this is interesting, or simply boring and dull. But I hope it highlights the achievements of this Spaniard. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/423479/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/422099/ Inspired Arthur Henry Hallam's famous Victorian essay, poetry of past centuries, and poetry of the current day and recent past. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/422069/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/422067/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/422064/ This is a poem I wrote when I was about sixteen. I found it quite by accident in an old writing book. It is totally and completely flawed, but I just thought putting some of my more 'juvenile' writing on here gives a kind of context. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/421809/ I owe an immense debt to Hardy and Gaskell. Without their prose descriptions of Tess half-reluctantly eating strawberries, Eustacia masquerading as the Turkish Knight, and Margaret's erotic spectacle of a body I could not have written this poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/FairOphelia/420709/ This was written very quickly after pondering on Blake and Shelley, I think. I can't quite remember. I'm damn certain it comes absolutely nowhere near their poetry in terms of standard. Intended as a sonnet, intentionally distorted towards the end.
