    This is an amazing poem. Just amazing. You used great figurative language with good precise rythm... my favorite stanza is the first: I see you curling in the smoky aftertaste ...

It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
