What an interesting person he was. I do not agree with his ideas on God though. God is someone that should be on our mind all the time. Should we try to squeeze him into a textbook? No but he is way more important than other people.
To be fair though his poetry is beautifully written. We can learn a lot from him. He wrote on whatever topic he wanted to and that took guts. As we discussed in class some of his poetry is very sexually elicit. Some even challenged the ideas of what "normal" relationships should be as he discussed homosexuality. He challenged the conventions and beliefs of his time and I respect him for that.
