“Gleneden’s Dream” is wonderful! Such vivid, powerful language and images!

Emily Brontë only knows D words: despair, darkness, desolation, dismal, drear, distress, dread, doubt, dungeon, doom…

I gotta say, not loving this. It’s like 12-year-old Anne Shirley’s juvenile writing attempts at shock, horror, and sensation…

Finally read a poem that really resonated with me!! “Far Away Is The Land Of Rest” Beautiful!

“Silence whets the fang of pain…”

It’s turns of phrase like that which make this such satisfying reading…

But “dreary” remains the most-used word… 😮‍💨

The language is beautiful—but it’s RELENTLESSLY bleak and dismal…

So much that is “drear,” “horror,” “grief,” “desolate,”… It’s a bit repetitive…
