Todays poem was on the pyramid of Cestius. I thought it was alot easier to read than the other two from yesterday, actually, alot easier. "Whose purpose was exprest not with its first design, not till, far down in time, beside it found their rest two countrymen of mine" This section specifically caught my attention because it might be, that the purpose of the pyramid was for something else, not to store bodies of poets or others of influence. Not its original "design"
So far, the class is really interesting. I'm not a big fan of poetry, but I find it fascinating how poetry can and is interpreted. I'm sitting in class thinking, awesome here we go again. I'm going to read something I completely don't understand. But after carefully reading and analyzing it as well as receiving help from Dr. Weber, it has really opened my eyes to something else.
