What's the Difference between Verse & Prose? 

This channel is so underrated

I like that you cite Rhianna and Alanis.

The Star Trek reference at 27:12 is the cherry on top of this episode.

Great job as usual. But as usual, I had to stop and go back several times to keep up with the flow of thought! You pack so much in! Thanks for making my bachelor's degree in English still seem relevant!

For lots of interesting connections between music and poetry I suggest watching Leonard Bernstein’s lectures called “The Unanswered Question.”

I don't know what's changed since last time we saw you, but you are looking particularly good. Whatever it is you have done to your appearance- which was never at all something I would criticise- it is working well. I mean that as a non-sexual observation as a bloke who also has a beard and glasses and a tendency to favour fashions from the past.

What a lovely present for Shakespeare's Birthday! Love these stories. Any little snippet would be impressive and enjoyable - and we get 30+ minutes today. 💜🦉

A new video finally!

An amazing work. Thanks. I'm waiting for more poetry/literature videos.

Oh, and thanks so much for turning the music off. That used to get very annoying to have incessant music.

When you spoke of "rhein" words, you forgot gonorrhea on purpose, didn't you, Mark?

Sorry for the delay! Here, finally, is the follow-up to our Poetry video ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQIQWq7vOws.html )

31:17 "Let met tell you how you are all Roman-ing wrong" -Grumpy cat as John Cleese as a Roman Centurion correcting Brian's butchery of Latin

Heroic couplets are amazing!

Wow. That's quite the tour! :)

Can we say that when the Aesir and the Vanir created Kvasir, they were literally spitting rhymes?

I like so much your vídeos.

Wow, did you even get a chance to breathe? :) Thanks for another good one.

2:27 Unless It's Repeating Vowels At The Start Of Words Instead Of Consonants, In Which Case It's Called Asinance, Or Atleast That's What I've Been Told. I Probably Spelled It Wrong Though.

Hmm, There Don't Seem To Be Enough Types Of Foot... Foots? Feet? Feets? I Dunno. What If I Wanted To Have (With 'S' Being Stressed And 'U' Being Unstressed) SUSUSSUS, Or Something Like That? Sure, It's Long, But It Sounds Cool! (Or Would That Be Seen As Alternating Between Two Foots, SUSU, And SSUS?)

Your videos are really good ones. I cannot even imagine how hard is to make them. They are very informative. I only have one thing to criticize. You talk very quickly. I understand that if you do so you can put more information, but to non-speakers, well, for me, it's hard to understand when you talk so fast. It's not a critique actually, just a advice.

If poetry is for amateurs, what do the pros use?

What? Prose & verse, but no "Bourgeois Gentilomme"?

22:48 "Calliope" You can't fight the Homestuck~!

No love for the amphibrach?

At 9:33 the word dhregh reminds me of the word for a beer truck, a dray. Is there any connection there or am I reading too much into it?

Guittone d'Arezzo. Any relation to Guido? Are they just from Arezzo? 🙂

Argh my head hurts!
