Nick Seddon, who learned 100 poems off by heart last year, asks an interesting question in The Guardian, and has set me thinking of my answer.
"Why do we like certain poems?... What Yeats called the "singing school" is made up of all of us who value poetry and want to remember it and make sense of it in our lives. But when we say we value a poem, when we say it's our favourite poem, can we say why?"
