By any means am I a religious person. I believe in God and enjoy going to church, but these poems seem to be mostly linked with religion. I find it hard to point out the meanings a spirit, ghost, or ten commandments means in a poem. I don't know what the poet meant or how religion is all related. I don't even know those things for my own life. Although I have enjoyed our readings I wish they went beyond the whole religion thing. Lord Byron seems to take a step more into the romanticism time which is a nice change of paste. I just find it harder to relate to something read on a more religious level then any other.

I have to agree with you here. Though religious poetry can be very interesting, it sometimes seems to me to be merely a clever way of restating what the Bible says. I do like it when they have more of a purpose than that.
