Please help me. There is a poem I remember but I've forgotten who it's by. I think they were a modernist poet, and maybe a famous one. I've checked Eliot and Pound but i can't find it in there works. Its a poem with a lot of repetition in it. I think it starts off about white light in a white room. The word white is repeated often. thats all i remember. Please help.
Can you quote a line or two?
Sorry, I can't. I know it's not very helpful. All i can remember is how it just repeated itself... in particular everything was white in a room...it was very strange. Sorry.
Ahhh.. found it (after 3 hours of searching google). It's 'ping' by samuel beckett. Although it seems more like prose than poetry.
Thanks anyway!
