re: Max and Maurice. Poor, poor Tailor ( with capital "T", for a better resistance) To complete your impressions on German educational books for children here is the English version of Struwwelpeter. I remember being mortally afraid of this book when I was a child.

Isabella Augusta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gregory. Because of text and theme I thought she was from much earlier times, maybe the late Middle Ages, so I looked her up. An interesting Lady!
Mignon! I stand before a riddle: Mignon is a character Goetheīs novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship). Itīs not quite clear to me whether the author of the poem is Goethe or Fletcher, or if one of them is the translator of it.

Re: Mignon... all things point to Goethe: https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-11503; see ("From Goethe" link on your page source also)
Re: "The Moon is Up"... a bit ambivalent about the poem. Granted, a rousing sea shanty/poem, but with knowledge of the history of how they obtained their gold and maintained their governments tends to tarnish the bravado

Thanks! Got the impression. that Cargo was only a part of a larger poem. Love these old travel accounts because those travels were part of Brazilian history.
Interesting dark poem by e.e. cummings
The language reminds me of the German Expressionists:

LOL! The same poem!
Enjoyed the bilingual Drummond so much, several fav poems here!
Fitting for my moment:
"INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FEAR
For the time being we won’t sing of love,
which has fled beyond all undergrounds.
We’ll sing of fear, which sterilizes all hugs.
We won’t sing of hatred, since it doesn’t exist,
only fear exists, our father and our companion,
the dread fear of hinterlands, oceans, deserts,
the fear of soldiers, fear of mothers, fear of churches,
we’ll sing of the fear of dictators, of democrats,
we’ll sing of the fear of death and what’s after death,
then we’ll die of fear,
and fearful yellow flowers will sprout on our tombs."
