Re: Questions & Questions
How could a Romantic Poet know anything at all apart from daffodils?
“Not all of us can choose what we give up. The things we love are taken or are never ours at all. If we’re lucky, life is defined not by what we let go, but what we let in: friendship and kind words, frailty and hope.”

Re: Questions & Questions
How could a poet, romantic or otherwise, not know about daffodils when he wrote a poem about daffodils "across the lake beneath the trees, fluttering & dancing in the breeze"?

Re: Questions & Questions
What sort of skills would another person have, to be able to write about daffodils?

Re: Questions & Questions
Would people with other skills even be interested in writing about daffodils?

Re: Questions & Questions
Would the people who are uninterested in daffodils be the same ones who once made fortunes from tulips?

Re: Questions & Questions
Why would someone only be interested in one kind of flower?

Re: Questions & Questions
What about people who aren't interested in flowers at all?

Re: Questions & Questions
Aren't there poets who would be more interested in battles and places in foreign lands?

Re: Questions & Questions
Why would romantic poets want to be popular?
