Verse satire indeed is entirely our own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own.
Satire works best when it hews close to the line between the outlandish and the possible - and as that line continues to grow thinner, the satirist's task becomes ever more difficult.
Satire is focused bitterness.
There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins.
I am not at all clear what free verse is anymore. That's one of the things you learn not to know.
Satire is people as they are; romanticism, people as they would like to be; realism, people as they seem with their insides left out.
Satire can always be found everywhere. A people without love for satire is a dead people.
And what holds good of verse holds infinitely better in respect to prose.
The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.
The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature.
