Tennyson & Dylan

Spoiler - the following has nothing to do with PD.  It is my rant on the Nobel Prize recipient.

So, Bob Dylan has won the Nobel prize for literature.  Really!!  I like Bob Dylan but he is no Alfred, Lord Tennyson.  Poets of Tennyson's stature win prizes, not a gravelly voiced folk rock singer.  Witness the genius of Alfred, Lord Tennyson in Locksley Hall, written before there were airplanes.  Read the excerpt below.  Can you see he accurately predicted the future...ie... air machines for commerce and later as airforces bringing nuclear war (ghastly dew) until the war was over and a sort of League of Nations established to ensure peace?

Now that is Nobel material!  The man predicted the future in poetic form.  Show me a Dylan poem that comes close to this.  

If they had to pick a popular gravelly voiced troubadour, Leonard Cohen would be my pick.

From Locksley Hall For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;	120
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain’d a ghastly dew
From the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue;
Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm,	125
With the standards of the peoples plunging thro’ the thunder-storm;
Till the war-drum throbb’d no longer, and the battle-flags were furl’d
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.	130
