Analyse this, analyse that.

>> i hate de-constructing poetry.
yesterday i was trying to write an essay for the foreign literature, analysis of an Emily Dickinson poem... god, it's so pointless! why can't people just read it and take some emotions out of it?? isn't that what poetry's for? i enjoy discussing literature and stuff, but as long as it's not a word-for-word analysis... "yeah, this coma really evokes the power of thought and brings depth to the whole symbolic meaning of the sentence"
yeah, sure....

poetry-analysis sucks!! I always cry everywhere about it, cause i really hate all these high-stylish descriptions of "what the author wanted to say us". He's already said all he wanted! can't all the critics just stop looking for some deep meanings and symbols everywhere? i\m sure, every poet who is discussed nowadays would die again from a heart attack if he was alive and able to hear these pointless debates!
it is the ЕГЭ and other rubbish-exams at school that crushes any sense in literature and make people pay attention to the wrong things. When you're supposed to write smth about nothing and do it in 2 pages or smth like that... you just doomed to write delirium and anylise the punctuation marks.

read poetry. feel poetry. but never think poetry.

aloud, friends
