May 31st is Walt Whitman's birthday so I thought we might have a poet-themed scramble today. I'm not sure if he rates on this side of the world, but I bet some of you will definitely remember the iconic Oh Captain, My Captain from the Dead Poet's Society. 

 

These are poets themselves, rather than titles of poems.

  2. ETOBRR SFTOR [SOLVED: ROBERT FROST]

  5. HJNO TAKSE [SOLVED: JOHN KEATS]
  6. AISLYV TAHLP [SOLVED: SYLVIA PLATH]
  7. ONJH OLNITM [SOLVED: JOHN MILTON]
  8. YRENH IDDVA ARUTOHE [SOLVED: HENRY DAVID THOREAU]
  9. IMIAWLL HSEPAESKAER [SOLVED: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE]
  10. IWLILMA LRUETB ESYAT [SOLVED: WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS]

As always, please only one guess per reply, so that everyone has a chance to participate, and also please wait until someone else has guessed after you before you guess again.

 

Hope to see our regular quizzers and any others I might have forgotten or who want to join the fun! No advance warning on this one so if you don't make it, no sweat!

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
            Only this and nothing more.”

Nice one @Enlli and an apt quote 😅

 

“I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.”

I met a lady in the meads,

Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"
