Not arguing, it’s just interesting to talk about him. I just read that Mary fought over the heart with Hunt who became obsessed with Shelley & saw him as his protégé in a way because he published a lot of Shelley’s writings & Hunt was kind of the center of their circle or writer/artist friends. But Trelawny was an obsessed fan with no real skills except being good at on the spot verbal storytelling/making stuff up,so I wouldn’t be surprised or surprised if all three fought over it.
Like so many others, I was introduced to W.H. Auden's work through the movie "Four Weddings And A Funeral". I promptly bought a book containing most of his poetry. What range he demonstrated!
I chose to read Donne in high school because everyone else picked the usual junk. For the first time I understood poetry, but it turned out to be pretty much the only time. Thirty, forty years later I am astounded at how much this poem formed my understanding of life, imperfection, and the First Commandment. Thank you for a beautiful reading.
