I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

A Note

Dr. Lal suggested a few minor edits on the Waiting for Godot - 2 post and they have been made. I've also added a few more observations, so go ahead and check.

A makeshift key to understanding some of the abbreviations, symbols etc:
(?) - this usually means the statement is open to debate. Feel free to argue, respond or comment on if you have anything to add.

MT - bold, capital abbreviations of this sort usually refer to a recurring theme in the work which is mentioned somewhere in the post itself. Everywhere that the symbol repeats itself, marks another aspect of the same theme.

I've also added little "Reaction" check-boxes at the bottom of the posts.

Leave comments, start a debate, vent frustration - whatever. The shout-box is for you to use. I know I've been slacking off on the Shakespeare course, will try and update as soon as I can.
