QOD Thursday 12-13 "POETRY, MAN"
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:40 am
by fantine33
Poetry, yay! Poetry, yay? Well, it shouldn't be too awfully bad.
Here you get some lines from a pretty well known poem. You provide the next line (or so). You'll know when you've done enough, it completes the rhyme (I wouldn't be mean enough to give you free verse. Ha!). I'm also giving you the name and author of the piece. I thought about doing bonuses for the poet, but I figured if you knew the line, you'd know who wrote it.
I tried to give the lines from a part of the poem that's quoted or whatever, because you might recognize a poem, but you don't know the whole thing taken out of context. Like I can recite like the first four lines of "Trees" (and the last two, ha!) but the rest is a muddle.
I'm not going to be all Hattie Hardass on you and count you wrong for using "has" instead of "hast" or a misplaced punctuation mark (God knows, I can never get the punctuation right on them), but you have to have the general gist of the line.
Wow, this is a long explanation for a fairly simple quiz!
12/13 POETRY, MAN
1. The Road Less Traveled - Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
2. Because I Could Not Stop for Death - Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
3. O Captain! My Captain! - Walt Whitman
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weathered every rack,
4. Eldorado - Edgar Allan Poe
Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the valley of the Shadow,
5. To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying.
And this same flower that smiles today,
QOD: Part of a line in what poem by T.S Eliot is also the name of an album that was released by a band after the death of their lead guitar player?
5 Point Bonus: Who was this prominent slide guitar player?
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Who was the rhythm guitarist that took over the lead role after this tragedy?

I like poems, because they are the music of words. They are songs missing only their notes.
1. And that has made all the difference.
2. and immortality.
3. the prize we sought is won.
4. (I haven't read all of Mr. Edgar's poetry yet.)
5. Tomorrow will be dying.
QoD: I don't know.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And I was eaten by a bear.

Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And I told Death to go f**k himself.

The ship has weathered every rack,
Not let's have some sexual fun.
4. Eldorado - Edgar Allan Poe
Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the valley of the Shadow,
To grandmother's house we go.
5. To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick

1. The Road Less Traveled - Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE (I CAN'T GET IT TO RHYME. BUT I ALSO THINK I'M AT THE END OF THE POME.)
2. Because I Could Not Stop for Death - Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
AND AS I DREW MY FINAL BREATH
HE STOPPED AGAIN TO PEE
AND I ESCAPED DEATH'S EVIL ELVES
3. O Captain! My Captain! - Walt Whitman
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weathered every rack,
YES CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! PUT AWAY THE GUN
MAKE NICE WITH MY IN-LAWS. UNPACK.
4. Eldorado - Edgar Allan Poe
Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the valley of the Shadow,
DON'T WORRY, KIDS, WE'LL BE THERE SOON
HUSH UP AND EAT YOUR AVOCADO
5. To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying.

TOMORROW MAY BE DYING
QOD: Part of a line in what poem by T.S Eliot is also the name of an album that was released by a band after the death of their lead guitar player?
SLIDE GUITARIST WHO DIED AND THEN THE BAND WENT ON SOUNDS LIKE ALLMAN BROTHERS TO ME, SO I GUESS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EAT A PEACH. I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS FROM A TS ELIOT POEM (OR OF COURSE I COULD BE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE - I ALWAYS HEARD IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE CARGO OF THE TRUCK THAT KILLED DUANE ALLMAN, BUT I ALSO ALWAYS HEARD THAT WAS BULLSHIT. THE STORY FEELS RIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO GO WITH IT). IT CAN'T BE FROM THE HOLLOW MEN, AND IT SOUNDS TOO HAPPY TO BE FROM THE WASTE LAND, SO I'LL GO WITH THE ONLY OTHER TS ELIOT POEM I CAN NAME, THE LOVE SONG OF J ALFRED PRUFROCK. ON THE ONE HAND I DON'T WANT TO RISK THAT MANY POINTS, BUT ON THE OTHER, I'M NOT EXACTLY GETTING THAT MANY POINTS
5 Point Bonus: Who was this prominent slide guitar player?
THAT WOULD MAKE IT DUANE ALLMAN
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Who was the rhythm guitarist that took over the lead role after this tragedy?

Okay, so I thought I could clean up what with you picking stuff I'm familiar with, but I'm too vague to do next line stuff. Especially recovering from last night's migraine. Grrr. I can't come up with anything.
Ya shoulda done credit for the author, dammit!

1. And that has made all the difference
2. You really have stumped me.
3. The prize we sought is won.
4. Well, it's not "rode the 600." How about "Beyond the baleful glare of Noon, the hearty conquerors ride." I just made that up, in case you can't tell.
5. Tomorrow will be dying.
QoD: Only know two Eliot poems by name, and The Wasteland seems too obvious, so I'm going to say The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
Bonus: Only know one slide/lead player who died too young, so I'm going to guess Duane Allman
If it's Duane, then it's Dickey Betts.

Dear Mr. Squishy Tomato: Huh. When I wrote that, it said "you'll know when you've done enough because it will either rhyme or complete the thought". But I had a long ass opening, so I edited to consolidate it some to make it shorter and it ended up "when the rhyme is complete". Which I guess I thought meant the same thing. But I guess not. Ha!
PS That one doesn't rhyme because I wanted to use the most well known part of the poem. See if I go easy on you guys again! Either that or I need to start writing my openings sometime before I'm in the post message window. Like that will ever happen.

It is a dream my captain lies
Fallen, cold and dead.
I dint remember as much of that as I thought I would.
