15 Minutes Of Love Poems - Volume 4 Audiobook

Love. What is love?The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another.Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love.Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart.

Don Juan

Don Juan is a handsome, charming young man who delights in succumbing to the beautiful women he meets. Sprinkled with digressions in which Byron gives his views on wealth, power, society, chastity, poets, and England, Don Juan is a poetical novel of satirical fervor and wit, its structure varied and loose, its language exuberant and lyrical.

Lord Byron (Author), Frederick Davidson (Narrator)

Don Juan

Lord Byron's satirical take on the legend of Don Juan is a moving and witty poem that sees the young hero in a reversal of roles. Juan sheds his image as a womanizer and instead becomes the victim of circumstance as he is relentlessly pursued by every woman he meets. Comprising seventeen cantos of rhyming iambic pentameter, the poem is a crisp and accessible meditation on the madness of the world.

Lord Byron (Author), Jonathan Keeble (Narrator)

Fifty Shades of Autumn

Nature continues to give. Riots of colour, of harvest are summoned. It seems almost at will. Her palette is richer. There is a depth to everything, made deeper still by the sun beginning to hang lower in the sky, it's light denser, glowing at dawn and at twilight, enriching everything it falls upon.Our classic poets take stock. They have seen her bounty - this act of giving - many times before. Yet, yet still it's majesty almost refuses the salute of words. Undaunted their verse is given, connections and revelations fall upon the page.In fifty poems we take you on their inspiring journey, reflecting on the miracle of Autumn.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Emily Dickenson, Lord Byron (Author), Gedeon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley (Narrator)

Fifty Shades of Love

The most enduring and popular theme of poems and poets is that of love. Can anyone think of a poet who has not in inky lines described their pursuit of love, their hopes for love, their loss of love, their unrequited love, their love of love ..... No.The language of poetry is mysterious but yearns to capture the essence and all aspects of its subject. In 'Love' it finds a difficult mistress. Individual poems can capture individual moments but has any one poem found within its lexicon the formula for the attainment of love? Again, the answer is 'No'.Love changes, its rhythms pause and pulse on the tiniest of things and the biggest of thrills. Within its shades all other feelings, all other emotions, gently reside, waiting for their moment.In these fifty poems the many, many shades of love reveal themselves.....

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Lord Byron, William Shakespeare (Author), Ghizela Rowe, Gideon Wagner, Richard Mitchley (Narrator)

Halloween Poems - Volume 1

Poems For Halloween - An Introduction. I should be whispering this because Halloween is almost upon us. A time of Witches, Ghouls and Hauntings and all kinds of scary things that come out the evening before All Saints Day to wreak.......... I'm glad you're listening so let us begin- Many of us remember that feeling from childhood when an adult or even our friends would tell us scary stories of things that go bump in the night. It was a time to scare and be scared and no matter how terrifying the stories were it was a good feeling punctuated by yelps and laughs. Halloween is now firmly established in the Calendar as a favourite; to go trick or treating and an excuse for kids everywhere to dress up in outlandish attire and collect vast quantities of sweets. Equally adults everywhere are prone to switch off the lights and pretend to be out! In our collection the poems show that words have been used to enthral and suggest dark mysterious forces beyond our control for quite some time. With authors of the ability of Keats, Poe, Byron, Sheehan & Shakespeare, to nourish these primeval fears the poems have an unsettling nature as all bad things should! This collection of poems is read to you by Ghizela Rowe & Gideon Wagner.

Lord Byron: Selected Poems

The epitome of the romantic literary hero, Lord Byron was as well known in his time for the revolutionary panache with which he lived as for his extremely popular verse. "As a myth," wrote Bertrand Russell, "his importance, especially on the continent, was enormous." His many tempestuous relationships were the subject of scandal which only added to his celebrity. His name has even entered into our language to describe a man of deep passion and defiance. Byron's poetry, satirical, shocking, romantic, and dramatic, is replete with witticisms, surprise rhymes, and editorial comment. Poems in this collection include "She Walks in Beauty," "So, We'll Go No More Aroving," "Epistle to Augusta," "Beppo," "The Spell Is Broke, the Charm Is Flown!" "Churchill's Grave," excepts from Don Juan, and more. "His capricious imagination rises…to heights that none can reach without wings."-Victor Hugo
