Question of the Day!	by kickstart	2006-11-19 12:23:33
Hmm. Right now? It'd have to be a tossup	by bladedancer	2002-06-07 09:53:29
between: - Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle" - Gerald Manley Hopkins' "The Windhover" or "To A Young Child" - Neil Gaiman's _Sandman_ series. (Gaiman-sama!) Y'know, I wonder what it says about me that two of my favorite poems deal with loss. bemused On the other hand, "The Windhover" is one of the best efforts I've seen to put the original sense of the word ecstasy -- "An exalted state of feeling which engrosses the mind to the exclusion of thought; rapture, transport." as OED.com puts it -- into words. And I consider 'Sandman' to be one of the finest pieces of work I've seen. I still boggle at the sheer number of references and allusions that Gaiman-sama managed to work in without bogging the whole thing down and sucking the reader into his world. Disclaimer: Still severely pre-caffeine, so blame any mistakes on that. :)
