Thanks for this. I think I relate to Yeats's poem more. This kind of thing has been on my mind actually as the world has changed since covid and I don't see the world the same way. But I think I want to read more Langston Hughes.
@@erichansen2860 Yeats had such a great perspective on how the world worked. A bunch of his poems are available for free on Poets.org if you want to read more. Some other really famous ones are “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” and “Sailing to Byzantium.”
You did a great job at explaining, comparing, and contrasting both poems. Would of loved to have an English teacher like you, unfortunately most of mine were just mean. Yeats is definitely what I relate to more. Will check out more of his works.
@@Adventures_in_Literature Yeats rocks my whole world. He’s awesome. Check out his poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” you can read it free on Poets.org along with a bunch of his other stuff.
...... I just got the selected poems of Langston Hughes off of Libby literally the day before you posted this because I was rereading A Raisin In The Sun which is a reference to his work. That's wild to me. This is getting uncanny now with your vids matching up to things I read or happening to me and I don't know if I like it lol. You are not allowed to discuss Anna Karenina until at least a few months after I finish this audiobook to avoid another coincidence.

And mean English teachers are exactly the reason why I’m here. I’d rather let people just explore and enjoy stuff that’s fun without any meanness
