I've infrequently attended my English class and now I'm writing my midterm. I've mispaced my notes (I took them--I really did).

All I need from you are four criteria for the Greater Romantic Lyric--I'll do everything else.

On a few web searches, I found only categorization of certain works as Greater Romantic Lyrics.

Please! Help me survive. I've learned my lesson, I have.

You are no help to me! No help at all! I've eaten plenty of chips, and enjoyed the rain, and done all the slacking I can possibly do. Now is the time for action.

I have plenty of temptation without you lot advising me to be seduced by it!

Alright, now, the first criterion for a poem belonging to the Greater Romantic Lyric is....

Give in. You have tasted the power of the slackside. Do not turn your back on it.

I don't know. It's long? It's made up of blank verse?

I'm pretty sure that one of them is that the poem must take place in a pastoral setting. I think that it must be cyclical. But there are two others that I can't remember.

The speaker must be reflecting on something? Gar! I can't remember. Something about how the text sounds like the speaker's internal dialogue, and then it turns out that he has an audience other than the reader? Crud!

All I know is when analyzing one you should ask yourself:

a) Where is the speaker and why is that place important to him? b) What is his problem? That is, what has he lost? How does he analyze the problem? c) At what resolution does he arrive

Yes yes yes! That last one was IT!

1. They present a determinate speaker in a particularized, and usually a localized, outdoor setting frequently with a silent human auditor, present or absent.
2. The speaker begins with a description of the landscape
3. An aspect or change of aspect in the landscape evokes a varied but integral process of memory, thought, anticipation, and feeling which remains closely intervolved with the outer scene. [A meditation.]
4. Often the poem rounds upon itself to end where it began, at the outer scene, but with an altered mood and deepened understanding which is the result of the intervening meditation.

ROCK ON!

Sorry, bk, I can't help it. After years of winkling information out of the catalogue computer at my university library, I'm addicted to tricky searches.

Apple-picker, you're welcome.
