Elegies & Laments

"In these more modern time perhaps our first thoughts of an Elegy or a Lament is for someone's passing. Wreathed in grief and death we think of a headstone on a silent grave and the memories that shelter within our hearts, slowly receding from one generation to the next, as an often lonely voice extols the virtues and traits of the one who has passed. But these two very early forms of poetry, dating back to at least Ovid and probably further, are also surprising in their lyrical touch. These are not just mournful and sad but also whimsical or rich with celebration and tribute as they journey through joy, laughter, love, tears and comfort. Our Classic Poets, who have specifically chosen to include the form in the title of their work, include the likes of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas Chatterton, Aphra Behn, Rainer Maria Rilke, Radclyffe Hall and many others of equal measure are always surprising in their views, their analysis and their sharing of words and thoughts, offering feelings that mirror our own and provide a balm of many hues for our wounded and tender souls. 1 - Elegies and Laments - An Introduction 2 - Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray 3 - The Lament of Swordy Well by John Clare 4 - An Elegy on a Pile of Ruins by John Cunningham 5 - Lament by Rainer Maria Rilke 6 - Elegy - Supposed to Be Written in Barnet Churchyard by George Townsend 7 - Elegy by Thomas Chatterton 8 - A Lament by Radclyffe Hall 9 - An Elegy by Ben Jonson 10 - Laeta - A Lament by HP Lovecraft 11 - Angellica's Lament by Aphra Behn 12 - Amores - Book I Elegy V - Corinna in an Afternoon by Ovid 13 - Morning Lament by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 14 - The Wind's Lament by John Morris-Jones 15 - Noon Day Elegiacs by T W Rolleston 16 - Midnight Lamentation by Harold Munro 17 - February.

Fifty Shades of Roses

"There are many things we can perhaps more easily say with flowers than with words. And flowers can say many things to us. So perhaps these poetic expressions of spoken words and flowery subject are a perfect match. Many would agree that there is one flower, the rose, that embodies both the human condition, its ambitions, its sacrifices and its symbolism of devoted love that together with its own peerless self; the beauty of its perfume, its hues and colours, its shapes and forms, from rambler and climber to the stately grace of a rose bed, and, of course, its thorns, to warn that consequences carry a price.Poets know that a rose is perhaps able to speak in many tongues on many subjects and it is therefore unsurprising that the rose is one of the great enduring symbols of the tradition in both Western and Eastern poetry. A rose can bring a tremble of the lip, or raise the beating of a heart. They can create a mood or simplify a feeling. Their message can be direct or nuanced but so often it is just perfect. Our classic poets from Hafiz, D H Lawrence, Robert Burns and Shakespeare, along with very many others, explore this beautiful living symbol with their exquisite lines and verse.1 - Fifty Shades of Roses - An Introduction2 - The Year of the Rose by Algernon Charles Swinburne3 - A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns4 - Rosa Rosarum by Agnes Mary Frances Robinson5 - Venus in the Garden by James Weldon Johnson6 - A White Rose by John Boyle O'Reilly7 - Rosa Mundi by Arthur Symons8 - Rose of All the World by D H Lawrence9 - To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time by Robert Herrick10 - Go Lovely Rose by Edmund Waller11 - To Roses in the Bosom of Castara by William Habington12 - Gloire de Dijon by D H Lawrence13 - Sonnet 130 - My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun by William Shakespeare14 - Sonnet 109 - O!

15 Minutes Of Love Poems - Volume 3

"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."

The Poets of the Eighteenth Century - Volume I

"For many in Europe the focus has shifted west to the Americas, both by settlement and by war against the indigenous tribes. And then between themselves.Democracy would be reborn by the American War of Independence. In the East India becomes the stage for further expansion. For our wordsmiths the world had become a wider page on which to write their thoughts. Coleridge, Pope, Southey, Wordsworth speak with lyrical eloquence on subjects both great and small. But always form the heart."

St Andrews Day - A Holiday in Verse

"Scotland's official national day is St Andrew's Day, the feast day of Saint Andrew.In the bible it is Andrew who introduces his brother Peter to Jesus as the Messiah. As well as Scotland he is also the Patron Saint of the likes of Russia, Greece, the Ukraine, and Barbados.It is thought that the day was first celebrated over a thousand years ago in the reign of Malcolm III (1034-1093).In both Scotland and those many countries with connections to, or who have a sizable Scottish population in these more modern times, it is a welcome display of heritage, culture and the fine traits of Scottish hospitality with food, music and dance.St Andrews Day is also the start of the Scottish winter festivals and thence follow Hogmanay and Burns Night.In this volume we celebrate the very finest of classic Scottish poets. From Burns to Stevenson, from Anderson to Baillie. And celebrate we should."

The Poetry of Night - Volume 2

"Night. The day has gone. Departed. And the dark embrace, the inky shadows of night descend. For many a time to unwind and slumber. For some a nagging doubt that all is not well. That some primeval and primordial happening may yet go bump in the night.But for our poets the night is a time of wonder and imagination as well as many other emotions and feelings. Among our ranks of gloried talents are Keats, Coleridge, William Morris, DH Lawrence, Whitman, Longfellow and many more besides. Their descriptions capture what they see and feel as perhaps only a poet can. Among our ranks of gloried talents are Thomas Hood, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Clare, Herman Melville and many more besides. Their descriptions capture what they see and feel as perhaps only a poet can. This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing. Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations."
