Abstract
Through close readings of William Blake's Book of Thel (1789) and John Clare's The Nightingale's Nest (1833), this article examines the concept of ecology, attending both to how these poems explore queerly ethical imperatives posed by the world and to the ways in which desires surface, in these poems, as fissures in their ecological imaginaries. Patterns of invitation and withdrawal in both texts confront the reader with their desirous, enmeshed, yet alienated relation to an inherently other world. Blake's and Clare's poems engage their readers in both a desire to enter an enclosed space, a habitat, and a recognition of the enclosure of that space as a textual effect—ecologically, these texts open out and destabilize a moment in which the human becomes aware of its interdependent relation to the nonhuman. As such, both poems trouble ecocritical tendencies to postulate queer and Romantic as ethical terms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
