Plath isn't that bad...our teacher seems to have an obsession for Heaney though..."A four foot box, a foot for every year"....that still kinda freaks me...

yep that's me! is it just my imagination or have you changed a lot? as for poetry, i'm a fan of plath and eliot and can't stand heaney or kavanagh. or boland. or wordsworth. in fact i pretty much hated everything on the leaving cert. course except for eliot (plath wasn't on in '05).

Yes. Yes he most definitely is. Good taste you have there. I mean:
"Who cares where national borders lie,
Who cares whose laws you're governed by,
Who cares what name you call a town,
Who'll care when you're 6 feet beneath the ground?"
That one's about the conflict in Northern Ireland, and is called Sunrise.
Then there's this. It's called Middle Class Heroes, and it's about modern living:
"I see unspeakable vulgarity
Institutionalised mediocrity
Infinite tragedy
Rise up little souls join the doomed army
Fight the good fight wage the unwinnable war:
Elegance against ignorance!
Difference against indifference!
Wit against ****!"
I really just like that for the words "institutionalised mediocrity". Brilliant

I advise all people to buy at least one Divine Comedy album, to discover how brilliant Mr. Hannon is. Buy Casanova, or Fin de Siecle if you can't find Casanova.

Hey!!!
G seen your brother at the uber-amazing Franz Ferdinand concert last night!:) Although there was a bit of confusion/embarrassment on my part...
Quote of the night:
G - "Oh my God! Tara, look at that dude in the jersey! It's Aonghus! And he's shaved his head!!!"
Bemused Nerd - "No...That's Oisin..."
Thank you to the girl who pointed that out. Malheureusement, G can't quite remember your name

Hmmm, antidisestablishmentarianism.

Right here. And the 3 best poets evar are Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Dante Aligheri and T.S Eliot

All I know about that is "water water everywhere" etc.

This is becoming more like After Hours each day.

oh and apparantly you were known as Jaffer.

Hmmm, antidisestablishmentarianism.

That's actually a political term from 16th and 17th century Europe, so it's not really relevant to Rage Against the Machine.

Please, for the love of all that is good in this world, stop speaking in the third person. It's not endearing, it's not funny, and it makes you look moronic.
