(With apologies to anyone here before me)

..even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to the sea

Sad Hesper o'er the buried sun
And ready, thou, to die with him

SUMMER ends now; now, barbarous in beauty, the stooks arise
Around; up above, what wind-walks!

Great thread Biggie.

Swinburne: The Garden of Proserpine. Beautiful poem.
Tennyson: In memoriam.
Gerard Manly Hopkins:

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough...


That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees....


At length did cross an Albatross,
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.

A E Housman
W B Yeats
S T Coleridge

Great windows open to the south,
Two girls in silk kimonos, both
Beautiful, one a gazelle.

green-robed senators of might woods
Tall oaks, branch-charmed by the earnest stars

... high-builded cloud
moving at summer's pace

poets
W.B Yeats: In memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markiewicz
Keats: Hyperion
Philip Larkin: Cut grass.


You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
They called me the hyacinth girl.

The night attendant, a B.U sophomore,
rouses from the mare's-nest of his drowsy head...

Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows and through curtains call on us?
