poetry

Take with you on your Sea of Dreams,
The fair, fond fancies dear to youth.
I turn from all that only seems,
And seek the sober grounds of truth.

[stop all the clocks] WH Auden
[each in his own tongue] William Herbert Carruth
[departure] Edna St.Vincent Millay
[the penitent] Edna St.Vincent Millay
[annabel lee] Edgar Allen Poe
[L.E.L] Christina Rossetti
[a better resurrection] Christina Rossetti
[from the charge of the light brigade] A Tennyson

the above extract is from 'Burning Driftwood' by John Greenleaf Whittier, a very good albeit very long poem.
