Episode description
[close reading] Relation of poem to the Intimations Ode and Mont Blanc. Interesting referential confusion in student comment. Edgar's song. Its contextlessness. The fact that the title is in quotation marks: it is a quotation. Slughorns and slogans. The hoary cripple. The ominous tract which all agree hides the Dark Tower being the text ("tract") of Lear.
