Reading

• William Blake, “The Lamb” & “The Tyger”
• Barbara Kingsolver, “The Memory Place” (199–205)
• Robert Frost, “A Brook in the City” (422–424)

Notes

In addition to the above material, I’ll talk a little more about Pearl, the transience of the moon, and the poem’s conceptual relation to Blake’s “London.” Don’t worry — I’ll be brief; we unfortunately need to move on to “new” material.

Office hours today are cancelled; apologies.

The essay requirements are available.
