A parody of Hopkins' "Spring and Fall," to which I think Shakesmear was referring.
I think we have all too many words of our own, but in most cases they're hardly worthy of our respective languages. Emerson said something like, "We dare not trust ourselves to entertain and so we buy ice cream." Substitute poetry for the ice cream. (As !pang would say, that would make you The Emperor of Ice Cream.)
