Andrew's Wiki
Greater Love

Content

• Love is no longer the major force or life or stimulus for art
  • Love not as dramatic, pathetic, or strong as war

Style

• Very complex and mature, quite elusive
• Uses tropes of sentimental literature and love sonnet motifs to subvert their aims
  • “Red lips are not so red / As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.”
  • “Your slender attitude / Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed”
