Morning. I have a little spare time so I decided to try this again. I'm on my way to my Literary methodology lecture but the teacher is chronically late, hence the spare time. I'm really not that interested in John Keats poems at the moment but I have to say it's nice when the stanza is so regular. Unfortunatelly, the meter isn't. How are you supposed to be able to tell if a poem has iambic pentameter if the meter is irregular and changes from tetrameter to hexameter?
For those who have absolutely no idea what is a iambic pentameter (it was a mystery to me as well two weeks ago): iambic meter has one unstressed syllable and then a stressed syllable and when these two are repeated five times (pentameter) and they create a line in a poem, it's called iambic pentameter.
I really do like the way Keats uses words, he's very clear, but I still prefer France Preseren and William Blake. I mean, Preseren's story is so sad and romantic. He was madly in love with a woman he saw once (Julija) but couldn't have because of the class differences. He wrote 15 sonnets about her with an amazing technique (check Wikipedia).
Okay, have to go now.
