Poetry in public.

As a quick follow-up to my last post, I wondered what people thought about, as well as placing posters in sites that have come to represent 24/7 society, also leaving small print-outs of Romantic poetry that deals with sleep?

Agamben talks about probing 'the folds and shadows of the Western cultural tradition' for a critique of our reigning conception of time... It would work as a 'jolt' like the posters, but also sit firmly 'in praise of sleep', something that seems kind of missing from  the public sphere when all we see is 'excel in bed', pills to help you get to sleep faster etc.

I posted short quotations from loads of different poems a week or so ago, and also recently stumbled upon:

I guess it is a bit clichéd and sort of 'high brow'? But equally, the beauty of poetry can serve as an antidote to the marketing/news etc we are used to seeing, where everything is stripped of meaning and any kind of 'deeper' contemplation. What do you guys think? I was sort of thinking about that 'Poems on the Underground' campaign TFL have been running and how much nicer it was to stare at a work by W.B. Yeats than be subjected to the meaningless bombardment that a tube journey usually entails...
