[close reading] Relation of poem to the Intimations Ode and Mont Blanc. \xa0Interesting referential confusion in student comment. \xa0Edgar's song. \xa0Its contextlessness. \xa0The fact that the title is in quotation marks: it is a quotation. \xa0Slughorns and slogans. \xa0The hoary cripple. \xa0The ominous tract which all agree hides the Dark Tower being the text ("tract") of Lear.
