"I now wish that I had spent somewhat more of my life with verse. This is not because I fear having missed out on truths that are incapable of statement in prose. There are no such truths; there is nothing about death that Swinburne and Landor knew but Epicurus and Heidegger failed to grasp. Rather, it is because I would have lived more fully if I had been able to rattle off more old chestnuts – just as I would have if I had made more close friends." Richard Rorty Rhapsode helps you commit to heart the greatest of what has been thought and said. The app uses a progressive memorization method. First, you read through the poem line by line to learn its rhythms and sounds. Then, words are slowly removed until you can recite without any assistance. Don't worry, you can always ask for a hint. The library includes works from poets like W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and more. Browse by theme, era, or collection, and build your own personal anthology of poems and quotes worth remembering. Features: · Progressive memorization across multiple stages — from full text to unassisted recitation · A curated library of classical and modern poetry in the public domain · Save your favorite lines and passages as searchable quotes · Track your progress across every poem you're learning · Dark mode for comfortable reading · Clean design built for focus · No ads. Not now, not ever. Rhapsode is for students, teachers, aesthetes, flâneurs, classical educators, homeschool teachers, and all others who believe, as Shelley did, that "[p]oetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man."
