: : My mother often says she feels like the wreck of the Hesperus. I've assumed it was some Greek tragic poem or an actual event. Has anyone heard of this?
: It is a poem about a shipwreck. Page down to the discussion on 8/09/00 for more information on this phrase.
I agree with your mother, reading the 'Wreck of the Hesperus' can destroy your whole concept of poetry.
