english: And I found poems by Andrew Marvell and Matthew Arnold and Emily Dickinson and William Butler Yeats because they were quoted in science fiction, and I loved their sounds and I went on to read about ottava rima and medial caesuras and enjambment and all that other technical stuff that you care about if you already care about poems, because poems already made me happier and sadder and more alive.
non_english: Ik ontdekte gedichten van Andrew Marvell en Matthew Arnold en Emily Dickinson en William Butler Yeats, omdat ze in sciencefiction werden geciteerd. Ik was dol op de klanken en ging vervolgens lezen over ottava rima en medial caesura en enjambement en alle technische dingen waar je om geeft als je al van gedichten houdt. Want gedichten maakten me al blijer en verdrietiger en levendiger.
