Notes for May 12th

Kenneth James is a computer god.
Did you see that?

Anyways,
After taking the quiz, and for some like myself, multiple quizzes, we discussed "The Retreat" "The Retreat" is an example of Lyric poetry which has a song like quality.

• This poem is a Romantic poem and they often deal with childhood.
• Closest to god when you're a child.
• We discussed the second race and being ones earthly existence while their fist race being ones heavenly existence.
• We decided poem was talking about how the author was happier before he understood sin. a.k.a. was a child.
• One's first love is God.
• He wished he could go back to innocence.

We stopped at the beginning of the second stanza.
