I had difficulty falling back asleep after waking up around 3:30 in the morning. I had a few things in my mind so I fired up ChatGPT. Dear reader, I beg your forbearance as you’ll notice I jumped around in the interrogations. It was intentional. It’s my first time with ChatGPT and I wanted to see if it kept track, which it did. This is how it went:
Me: . . . city that gives them
ChatGPT: I’m sorry, but it seems like your question is incomplete. Can you please provide more context or complete your question so that I can better understand and provide a helpful response?
Me: It’s a phrasing from a poem I’m trying to remember
ChatGPT: Ah, I see. Unfortunately, without more context or details, it’s difficult for me to identify the poem or phrase you are referring to. Can you provide any additional information that might help me identify the poem or phrase? Even a small snippet or a few words from the poem may be helpful.
Me: I read the poem in the mid 1970’s and my guess is that the author is british
ChatGPT: Thank you for the additional information. Unfortunately, with only that information it’s still difficult to identify the poem you’re thinking of. However, I can suggest a few possible next steps to help you in your search:
Try to recall any other details or phrases from the poem. Even if they don’t include the exact wording you’re looking for, they could help you find the poem by narrowing down your search.
Use online search engines or poetry databases to search for the keywords or phrases you remember. You can try searching for phrases that are similar to the one you’re thinking of, or using other details from the poem that you remember, such as the title, author’s name, or specific themes or imagery.
Reach out to online poetry communities or forums and describe the poem and your search in detail. Other poetry enthusiasts may be able to help you identify the poem or provide other helpful resources or tips.
I hope these suggestions are helpful in your search. Good luck!
