- Latest Review: The Wingless Fairy by Kye Strothers
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson

I haven't yet read many of the classics you've listed. What makes these epics better? Is it the translation, scenery, characters, themes, or something else?Wreade1872 wrote: ↑30 Jan 2016, 20:35 I read the Alexander Pope translation recently, it was pretty bad. Can't speak to the other versions doubt i'll ever bother checking if they're any better.
Most of the other poetry epics i've read are better than this, Faierie Queene, Orlando Furioso, Song of Roland, Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs, Idylls of the King etc.
