Re: Edward Thomas: Lob
Jun 28, 2008, 20:11
You all may have seen this already but there's a large piece in today's Guardian on Edward Thomas - interesting conclusion on 'Lob' being a personification of "poetry and its role in collective memory".
Once again it's difficult not to think of a door thrown back and a shout; "I have arrived!", only for a trapdoor to open under his feet. Mesmerising legacy though. He had a lot to say.
