British Poetry Quiz: 1600-1800

Well, I first need to thank all of you for singing "Happy Birthday" to me; it truly was an amazing day. It's actually gotten me thinking about all sorts of birthdays, including the birthdays of great countries like England and Scotland, and the new birthdays that are celebrated over the passing of time and the merging of territories. One thing that I am disappointed about is the fact that my birthday always lands around junior prom. Who knew I would need to compete against such a well-known day in Davis. If only Cromwell and his puritans were in charge, they would outlaw dancing; leaving the celebration of my birth as a truly unforgettable day on the calendar. On the downside, the puritans probably would have outlawed any performing of Shakespeare, so that would mean good-bye to British Literature at DHS. Oh well.

Remember to study for your poetry quiz tomorrow, and be on the look-out for some extra credit questions concerning the time period. Take care!
