BTW Stratos, that's not the way I voted anyway - if the name sounded familiar but I wasn't able to tell who the person was, I didn't tick the box. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 02-29-2004, 03:30 PM: Message edited by: Melusine ] |

Daddy is one twisted poem Mel. Very haunted woman Sylvia Plath was. Though I prefer Dylan Thomas when it comes to conflicted father poems. Do Not Go Gentle is one of my favorite (of many [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) poems.
*escorts Mel out and away from grumpy ol' Uncle Vask* So, Vask, who do we blame the A-Bomb on? Hungarians, Germans, Pols, or Americans?

I wouldn't compare Thomas to Plath, really. But they're both brilliant and came to sad ends... Yes, Plath was a disturbed woman and Daddy is immensely disturbing and poignant, but I think it's also quite cynically humourous. I love it. Do not go gentle into that good night is, , one of my favourite of many poems!! I admire Thomas so much for the pure craftmanship that went into writing a villanelle of such formal perfection without ever sounding contrived or reaching. Did you know John Cale (of the Velvet Underground, among other things) put this and some other Thomas poems to music?? Brilliantly done. Definitely recommended. But this is really the most off-topic I've gone in months... I should stop now before I never find my way back.

Damn - I do these polls too darn quickly. I posted that I knew 4 of them, but really I rushed it and I certainly should have twigged to Lizt and Christina Eggerzeggi. I have to believe that the Hungarian naming is causing some people that are known to be missed. I can't believe that only one person has voted for Christina (damn, there should at least be double that number of I had been more careful),

Well I knew all except two, but considering I am hungarian that shouldn't be a surprise.
edit: I am surprised that not two many people know Szent-Gyorgyi. Just FYI he discovered vitamine C. [ 03-01-2004, 06:53 AM: Message edited by: dplax ]

Yeah guess the surname first thing + addition of accents is making many known names unrecognisable but I thought it'd be too easy otherwise! Guess I was wrong! |
