"A Little Pleasure Dome If I've Ever Seen One"

      Why this stuff didn't manifest itself on the Lit Exam From Hell is anyone's guess.   Dear me, this is the sort of stuff Leonard Cohen parodied so audaciously in Beautiful Losers -- the better part of forty years ago.  

      (Actually, I'm wondering if there's a competition in here-- deliberately coming up with the worst such writing. But I'll leave that for someone else to do; I've had enough of labour for a bit.)
