lot of times old school literature is full of old
- 00:27
school phrases that we might not get immediately Also poetry
- 00:31
in general is packed with unconventional word choices which poets
- 00:34
used to be all poetic and stuff Good news is
- 00:37
we don't have to be experts in old school phrases
- 00:39
or be poetic genius is jeannie i understand what's going
- 00:43
on here a little investigation into context clues will save
- 00:46
us even if we've never heard somebody describe a horse's
- 00:49
pace as a meaning walk waken definitely next choice eh
- 00:55
there's absolutely no evidence in the poem that the horse
- 00:57
and his rider are going in the wrong direction that
- 01:00
we did hear that the other farmers think fun on
- 01:02
this guy for his obsession with one direction choice see
- 01:07
is also rejected The poem doesn't mention anything about how

speaker directly tells us that he sees the neighbor slowing
- 01:33
the horse down to a meaning lock so unless the
- 01:37

- 01:39

- 01:44
word meaningful and makes us think that neighbor is slowing
- 01:47
his horse down very purposely like he has something important
- 01:50
to say Unfortunately the poem ends before you can find
- 01:53
out what the important thing is Wow thanks robert for
- 01:56
us for stringing us along without a solid payoff Oh
- 01:59
well this we didn't put his much time into This
- 02:01
is we did watching the last six seasons of lost
