the information about the stanza was slightly incorrect. I changed the stanza so it was correct, not changing the poem at all but ensuring the information above the poem on Example One was correct. I also changed Example & Example to Example One & Example Two to prevent confusion. this article also deserves to be longer and is quite short, lacking information. |
