Who are the most interesting English language poets of the 20th century?
Hi, and thanks for the A2A. I prefer non-rhyming, realistic poetry. Some of my favorites are Anne Sexton, e.e. cummings and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Anne Sexton has an excellent eye for detail, and uses unexpected word groupings to really help you visualize not only the scene, but the mood. Here is one of my absolute favorites by Anne Sexton:Three Green WindowsHalf awake in my Sunday napI see three green windowsin three different lights—one west, one south, one east.I have forgotten that old friends are dying.I have forgotten that I grow middle-aged.At each window such rustlings!The trees persist, yeasty and sensuous,as thick as saints.I see three wet gargoyles covered with birds.Their skins shine in the sun like leather.I’m on my bed as light as a sponge.Soon it will be summer.She is my mother.She will tell me a story and keep me asleepagainst her plump and fruity skin.I see leaves—leaves that are washed and innocent,leaves that never knew a cellar,born in their own green bloodlike the hands of mermaids.I do not think of the rusty wagon on the walk.I pay no attention to the red squirrelsthat leap like machines beside the house.I do not remember the real trunks of the treesthat stand beneath the windowsas bulky as artichokes.I turn like a giant,secretly watching, secretly knowing,secretly naming each elegant sea.I have misplaced the Van Allen belt,the sewers and the drainage,the urban renewal and the suburban centers.I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.I know what I know.I am the child I was,living the life that was mine.I am young and half asleep.It is a time of water, a time of trees.Check out these links for examples of the latter two... i carry your heart by e.e. cummings, and Lament by Edna St. Vincent Millayhttps://www.poetryfoundation.org...https://www.poetryfoundation.org...Hugs!-V
What are the officers of the Roman army called?
From the site listed below... "Let's start from the bottom. The lowest role of leadership on the chain is that of Decuriones. This man was the senior officer in charge of ten horsemen. He would basically represent that small group of soldiers and, if he was killed in battle, the next most senior person would take his place. The next step up on the ladder is the job of Praefectus. This person was the commander of the cavalry. One more rung on the ladder is the Centurion. He would lead a century. This officer was non-commisioned, and to hold this title, would have to had previously been a sergeant. The following are even higher positions that are reached through an entirely different type of promotion. Only senators could ever get these positions. The Military Tribune is the first on this list. The Tribune was in charge of keeping an accurate list of all the soldiers, noting casualties, and when needed becoming a mediator in minor disputes. The Qaestor was the treasurer of the Roman Army, they would handle the logistics. These people served a term of one year. The commander and chief of a single roman legion, also known as the legion general. The second highest in command would be the Legati. This person served as the lieutenant general. This person was usually between the age of 30 and 40, and would serve a term of 3-4 years. The head man in charge of the ENTIRE Roman Army was the Dux. This person had it all. The Dux has the power to crush civilizations. The Dux has the power to expand the great Empire of Ancient Rome." Aloha

How can I make my Doc Martens last forever?
First, go with Dr Martens Made in England, instead of their 'for life' line. The quality receives much better reviews. With the 'for life' boots, they don't repair them, they just replace them. A well-broken-in pair is worth much more to your feet than a new pair, and if they're just replaced, well...The footbed on the English pairs is different. They're hard. Like, as hard as wood. However, they conform perfectly to your foot over the breaking-in period, and truly, this is what you want instead of sponginess. The 'bouncing soles' take care of any sponginess you need anyway.Be sure to let them completely dry out every once in a while. Try not wearing them for a couple of days, like over the weekend. They're supposedly harder to break in (i really didn't have any problems...) but well worth it. They just get better and better the longer you wear them. The rubber soles on the English Docs are different than the ones made in China, Thailand, etc. Much more hardy, and they tend to not lose that stretchiness and suppleness they need in order to flex instead of crack.DO treat your boots with Wonder Balsam. Lanolin is ambrosia to most any leather, and restores much of what they lose with age as far as suppleness is concerned. Think of it as lubrication for the fibers that make up the tanned hide. It's the loss of natural oils that prematurely ages leather.But for Gods sakes don't wear them to work right out of the box. It would be footpocalypse. They arrive arrive very tough and hard, and feel very alien to your feet for the first several wears. Bear through it, and you'll see (and feel) why they cost $200+.
