O.K. I'm sure I'm not to first to ask this nor hardly the last, but what's so great about anybody (it obviously doesn't have to be a poet) constructing a poem of lines taken from wellknown works?

It certainly doesn't call on the creative processes, apart from an eye for an apposite line, and seems more to bear witness to the fact that the cento maker possesses at least a decent anthology.
