Fanfic?

From now on, if anyone gives you a hard time for writing fan fiction just point them in the direction of this BBC2 trailer.

I think it's rather gorgeous, especially for the inclusion of two same sex couples, but found some of the lines in the poem familiar while not recognising the whole, if you know what I mean. Today I remembered to Google a bit of it and it jolly well should have been familiar. There are bits of Keats, Longfellow, Walter Savage Landor, Shelley Tennyson and Arthur O'Shaughnessy with a couple of filler phrases from the compiler poet Alison Chisolm. Apparently the style of poem, which Chisolm invented, as called a 'cento'. 

You live and learn :)
