Questions

What's wrong with what he did(if there is anything wrong with it at all)?
He didn't credit the magazine or author, is this plagiarism?
Why did he choose to use only two lines as the basis for his poem?
What about the 'two lines' inspired him?

  1. What's wrong with what he did(if there is anything wrong with it at all)?
    ---> I don't think there is anything wrong with what Collins did. He was influenced by another poet's work, whether to mock or agree, and it allowed him to create a totally different piece of art.

    Why did he choose to use only two lines as the basis for his poem?
    ---> We will never truly know, but perhaps all he needed was a solid starting point; a point at which he could elaborate on, in a way that reflected his style of writing.

    What about the 'two lines' inspired him?
    ---> Again, we will never truly know, but it could have been convenience that led him to choosing those two lines, or perhaps he felt some unconscience vibe towards it..there could be infinite explanations.
