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

William Wordsworth: World of Joy and Pain

Image: Unsplash, downloaded https://unsplash.com/photos/nVH2X2oYlpU (24.5.2021.) A Night-Piece The night sky is overcast With a continuous cloud of texture close, Heavy and wan, all whitened by the Moon, Which trough that veil is indistinctly seen, A dull contracted circle, yielding light So feebly spread, that no shadow falls, Chequering the ground, from rock, plant, tree, or tower At length a pleasant instantaneous gleam Startles the pensive traveller while he treads His lo

John Keats: The Poetry of Earth

Image: Unsplash, downloaded https://unsplash.com/photos/hgGplX3PFBg (27.4.2021.) O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep,— Nature’s observatory—whence the dell, Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell, May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep ’Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell. But though

Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Praying in Heaven

Image: Pexels, downloaded https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-a-sad-girl-holding-paint-brush-3778361/ (10.4.2021.) The Blessed Damozel The blessed Damozel leaned out From the gold bar of Heaven; Her eyes were deeper than the depth Of waters stilled at even; She had three lilies in her hand, And the stars in her hair were seven. Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem, No wrought flowers did adorn, But a white rose of Mary’s gift For service meetly worn; And her hair lying down h

Ted Hughes: The Hanged Man and The Panic Bird

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/Vct2D4rZfmc) 31.3.2021. Life after Death What can I tell you that you do not know Of the life after death? Your son's eyes, which had unsettled us With your Slavic Asiatic Epicanthic fold, but would become So perfectly your eyes, Became wet jewels, The hardest substance of the purest pain As I fed him in his high white chair. Great hands of grief were wringing and wringing His wet cloth of face. They wrung out his tears
