Wow, interesting...That's not at all what I got. ? Send a noteboard - 16/01/2011 12:24:41 AM

It helps if you understand the context - this was written not long after WW1, so the imagery of the orchestra and all the percussion is to some extent a metaphor for pounding guns and cannons, while the chaotic layout, the frantic pace at some points and the occasional all-caps words also have to do with the feelings of stress and disturbance one gets during war (the collection it's from is called "Occupied City" for a reason).


Okay. So now it all makes sense. That's really cool though.
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

And the poem in the link was cool. I was surprised when it started moving. - 15/01/2011 10:02:09 PM 1112 Views
Yeah, obviously the moving is an addition of the guy who put it online. - 15/01/2011 10:32:33 PM 1112 Views

Okay, well, the first part should read something like this (obviously without the layout): - 15/01/2011 11:02:44 PM 1165 Views
