{lime tree}: Plagiarism and Literacy

Plagiarism rampant at UC Santa Cruz. The students, taking there cue from a hack publication, take Keats' "Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night" to mean that the star is not in lone splendor. The poem makes no sense that way, of course. I've missed Lime Tree in the past few weeks. This kind of post, that makes you laugh through tears, is one reason why. We always say we envy people in English departments because the students majoring do so (presumably) because they like literature. Our Spanish majors openly tell us that they "don't like literature." They don't seem to realize they are in a literature major.
