Saturday Poetry Corner 72: 'I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day'

Today, a little poem for insomniacs, by Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Saturday Poetry Corner 71: The Hollow Men

This is probably my most favorite poem of T.S. Eliot. It describes the post-war landscape of human psyche. It only proves that some anxieties are eternal, not confined to a certain and fixed event, but words that describe them, can hop to fit yet another time.

Saturday Poetry Corner Part 70: In The City Of Night

Tonight, a poem about the city by John Gould Fletcher.

Saturday Poetry Corner 68: The Conqueror Worm

Edgar Allan Poe is back (back back back)!

Saturday Poetry Corner 67: Les Malades

 

Today, a poem by Emile Verhaeren (1855–1916), a Belgian poet. 

I have to admit, I adore the metrum of French verses and the English translation, although good, pales with it.

Saturday Poetry Corner 62: The Rising of the Storm

 

Since we've been having a season of storms, a poem that in its rhythm builds the anticipation, the winds rising and yet some steadiness in how the storm comes. But the effects of this one are different. 

Of course, symbolic reading of the poem might give quite a different results than just a regular storm.  The poem is by Paul Laurence Dunbar who already made the appearance on this blog.

 

 

Saturday Poetry Corner 61: Eurydice

In today's Poetry Corner, a poet who often signed her works as H.D. gave voice to Eurydice, the silent and passive recipient of action, never a performer.

Saturday Poetry Corner 58: When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d

 Today, a bit unsettling poem by Walt Whitman. It is a long one, so probably not for everyone.

 

Saturday Poetry Corner 57: Let the Past Die

If I am being honest, I am not sure whether I'm back to blogging and posting. However, today is one poem, after a long break, this one is from William Ellery Leonard.

Saturday Poetry Corner 56: The Darkling Thrush

Today is a day with snow, and frost, and a bird. Provided by Thomas Hardy, who already appeared on this blog.
