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

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
