Yes, and I'm genuinely shocked people only read the Songs of Innocence and Experience and the Marriage of Heaven and Hell. His real kino are his big three prophecies.

Personally, I don't think anyone beats Shakespeare as a yarn-spinner nor as a writer of characters, but there are poets just as, if not better, than him.

I wanted to like him, but no. His prosody is wonky and he relies too heavily on conceit to convey an image. He can be pretty repetitive too.

There are infinitely better French works out there. Proust is decadent lit for normies who never heard of it and are only familiar with great books that you find with a quick google search.
