i can relate to this. although not remotely my collegiate focus, i at
one point had to write an explication of ee cummings "little tree".
cummings moves me more profoundly than any other poet as of yet. i was
very upset to have to write the paper, but it was mostly for fear that i
would do it criminal injustice. fortunately my prof gave me the lattitude
to throw my heart and soul into it - and i actually came up with
something i was proud of. i wish i could say all of my stars were out -
maybe someday. i never had to defend it to anyone, and i'm sure that
would add an entire dimension i can't even relate to. by the way - i'm
new too, welcome to the list.
