Unfinished (Lyric) by Blake
If only I might view passion rejoined Or merest sign, to lift me from abyss But peace I only find in verses coined Whilst poetic desire suffices for a kiss; Still, let this serve not to shackle you to me I intend to rise through lyric, joyously For, as such work, my sorrow cannot remain When the very caress of a hand frees the chain.

Up the ladder: Covers
Down the ladder: When summer is out of sight

Whilst? Why are you using this language? Do you know no other?

You were more relevant alive. Or were you? Nay. Nay. I scraped your poem onto the curb, but still I reek in such a way like mother's broiled cunt filet.

I simply prefer the language...I have yet to find a modern poet who I connect with as well as "old dead farts".

You can prefer the language all you want. You can write darling tributes to the ways of old. Many skilled writers have utilized the language or elements of it while expressing modern themes (e.g. Tom Stoppard). But you don't to that. You took a high school English lit class and were mesmerized like many of us when we were in puberty. But unfortunately you are stuck with who you are and the Romantic Age is long gone and your cheap imitations of these dead farts are just that: cheap.
