English Section Lacks Examples

[edit]

The section on English poetic diction mostly just talks about how poetic diction has been rejected by this and that great author, it doesn't describe the characteristics of English poetic diction. Furthermore the only example given is an example of the bad aspects of English poetic diction. Is English poetic diction really that lame? I guess after Old Norse (or Anglo-Saxon) comes up with phrases like "sword-weather", all else pales by comparison.Fema (talk) 03:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Concept not introduced

[edit]

The introduction doesn't introduce the phenomenon of poetic language. It only describes the status of poetic language in Western society, which isn't helpful, because the idea is that it doesn't exist. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 17:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
