No. Now I must run the risk of arrogance, which I am quite willing to do. I probably know these literatures (with the exception of spanish literature, which I am still working at) much better than you ever will. Don't even think about telling me about my "poor perspective" on literature when I have sampled a far greater variety of poetry from a far greater number of cultures and languages than I'm sure you have.

I can't write?
Phew, felt that.

At least I can capitalise the first-person pronouns in all of my poems.

I don't compare myself to the "greats" as you call them. I am merely stating that what you so blandly and generally lable as plagarism has been done by most of the world's poets. Then again, poemranker is the last place I'd go to for serious opinions on my writing.
