Yes, from my childhood and education. A great deal of Frost from my childhood (sorry, Tom). Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 27/07/2015 05:14:47 PM

Obviously studying Classics for my undergraduate degree means I have several poems memorized both in Latin and in English. I have a bit of Shakespeare committed to memory, and a smattering of Keats and Yates. Obviously I have Ozymandias memorized--everyone I know had to learn it in high school.


The number goes up substantially if you include the Psalms, a vast number of which my Episcopal upbringing burned indelibly into my memory.
