Don't mind me, just being THE most influential poet

>>9080427
He wasnt influential in his time at all

>>9080427
lol no. The best? Certainly.

>>9080460
this
symmetry and tigers and all that

That's not Goethe.

>>9080460
Again, not Goethe.

>>9080460
>>9080851
>>9080427
That's not Keats

>>9080870
This guy gets it

>>9080870
>Keats

more like shits

>>9080870
I wouldn't say he's the most influential or the best, but he might have been the most talented, and I do enjoy him the most. He just died way too young.

>>9080843
Why does everyone go on about the tiger? London or Auguries of Innocence are way better

>>9080894
the symmetry is the best line of poetry since Ecclesiastes

>>9080894
Because it's an easy poem, not to say that it isn't great.

>>9080427
Blake's influence starts when the Pre-Raphaelites get into him, for the most part.

Rimbaud and Coleridge 4eva
Modern before it was modern and traditionalism before traditionalism

>>9080851
>Goethe
But that's just wrong, Anon

>>9082642
OP made claim to romanticism, in between renaissance works and modernism. That other anon's claim is legit, fuck face.

>>9082685
To be fair, Goethe rejected romanticism.

>>9080894
I like Auguries. Extremely simple structure, but it feels like it gets to the heart of his whole "sublime in the mundane" aesthetic
