Tocqueville Blog Post #3

Tocqueville is a very interesting and new way to tell a story. It takes on poetry and rhythmic patterns to develop a story that most would not take the time to read due to its serious tone and subject matter. This new form of writing really drew me in and made it a lot easier to read this piece. I really enjoy the first poem lyric since it was the poem that initially drew me in to begin with. I love the metaphors and personification he puts on earth and music and how he somehow finds a creative way to relate the two elements into a beautiful piece of poetry.
