Call me average. This is the first time I had ever heard of Southey.

Right?! There are definitely poets who predicted their undying fame and more or less nailed it, but Southey may have been a little too optimistic on that front.

Appreciated your critical commentary. A reminder that an author is human and as full of faults as the rest of us, deserving a critical eye and sometimes even "their faults condemned". Double irony that, thanks in part to this episode, Southey is remembered still. Well shared. Thanks.

The DP uncut - very edgy! (Sean did you tick Logan off?)

One of these days I’ll have a comment related to the poem 😂

Haha, he's so longsuffering. The only thing that might tick him off is knowing that after he goes to all that trouble to make me sound decent, I'm out here uploading the wrong files!
