So I guess I was wrong. No one likes talking about poetry. Maybe I should discuss poetry with myself...
Well, Illuvatar, what other poets do you like?
Well, Illuvater's brain, I'm also a fan of Tennyson, another early 19th century poet. Very pastoral his poems were; sometimes quite medieval though.
Any favourites?
Yes. I very much like 'The Lady of Shallot'. Which is Arthurian. And very beautiful.
Would you like to quote a line?
Why, yes! I would like that very much!

'On either side the river lie
long fields of barely and rye
that cloth the wold and meet the sky,
and through the fields a river runs by
to many a towerd Camelot.'

That is very nice.
Yes, I agree.
Except, I don't understand what the word 'wold' means?
Well, it is an old english word that is used to mean the world that can be seen with the naked eye. What I mean by that is, when you're in the country, all the land you can see to the horizon is called the wold.
Ah, thanks for that.
No problem.
