Alfred, Lord Tennyson: The Spirit Of A Man

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/03Pv2Ikm5Hk) 25.04.2022. The Idealist A mighty matter I rehearse, A mighty matter undescried; Come listen all who can. I am the spirit of a man, I weave the universe, An indivisible divide, Creating all I hear and see. All souls are centres: I am one, I am the earth, the stars, the sun, I am the clouds, the sea. I am the citadels and palaces Of all great cities: I am Rome, Tadmor and Cairo: I am Place And Time, yet is

T. S. Eliot: Unreal City/Never Moving/Ever Moving

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/hb_lEwh3z4I) 18.2.2022. The Waste Land I. The Burial of the Dead April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, And went on in sunlight, i

Percy Bysshe Shelley: Some World Far From Ours

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/p4stN8gJpPM) 9.1.2022. The Cloud I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one, When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I diss

Oscar Wilde: Wasted Days and True Knowledge

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/Vc8GBqapdfs) 8.11.2021. Wasted Days A fair slim boy not made for this world's pain, With hair of gold thick clustering round his ears, And longing eyes half veiled by foolish tears Like bluest water seen through mists of rain; Pale cheeks whereon no kiss hath left its stain, Red under lip drawn for fear of Love, And white throat whiter than the breast of dove- Alas! alas! if all should be in vain. Corn-fiel

John Milton: The Architect of Time

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/MCPmQK8s_gI) 11.9.2021. On Time Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race, Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours, Whose speed is but the heavy plummet's pace; And glut thyself with what thy womb devours, Which is no more then what is false and vain, And merely mortal dross; So little is our loss, So little is thy gain. For when as each thing bad thou hast entombed, And last of all, thy greedy self consumed, Then lon

Robert Frost: Crushed and Mystified

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/qe3zhCb3fFs) 31,7.2021. A Question A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth. The Trial by Existence Even the bravest that are slain Shall not dissemble their surprise On waking to find valor reign, Even as on earth, in paradise; And where they sought without the sword Wide field of asphodel fore’er, To find that the utmost rewar

Maya Angelou: Lessons and Challenges

Image: Unsplash, downloaded https://unsplash.com/photos/7UzYfAXUgI8 (8.6.2021.) The Lesson I keep on dying again. Veins collapse, opening like the Small fists of sleeping Children. Memory of old tombs, Rotting flesh and worms do Not convince me against The challenge. The years And cold defeat live deep in Lines along my face. They dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying, Because I love to live. My Arkansas There is a deep brooding in Arkansas Old crimes like moss pend from poplar t
