even the really famous poems i can't recite verbatim.
i love the jabberwock but ask me to recite it. i even did a homage poem to it
which i can't recite either
i'm not that into wanting or needing to know how people lived or died (no offence meant)
though i have retained some aspects of poets lives. i recall snippets of others lives of course
but i just want to read the words. their anguish and suffering and how they arrived at them is secondary.
i'm impressed about the school in august anecdote, it's something i struggle to retain.
