This is so funny, I had no idea it was a GCSE staple, I came across it recently and was like, mmm profound... meanwhile clearly all of my fellow milennials have been over it for 20 years...
Not over it at all, it definitely hits different in your 30s compared to your teens! I feel very lucky that our generation got to study poems by people who weren't dead white men, and angry that Michael Gove took that away from the next generation (notwithstanding awesome teachers gaming the system)
Thank you for all these but especially for reclaiming Love After Love from noughties GCSE English hell!
