2008: Prose Vs Poetry And Found Prose Poetry



As Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancinet Mariner'
is not about the prevention of the cruelty of albatrosses,

Virgina Woolf's 'The Death of the Moth'
is not about lepidopterology.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Interesting connection, Tom. As Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' is not about preventing cruelty to albatrosses, Woolf's 'The Death of the Moth' is not about the study of the lepidepteran as a species, but about how an insignificant little creature came to know death. Keep in mind the different intents of Coleridge and Woolf, as well as the difference between prose and poetry or found poetic prose of Woolf against Coleride's prosaic poetry! Regards, Michael
