Still enjoying the noble verses of the legend of Albion. As the poem is long I am reading it by parts. Enjoyed also this 18th century.
collection.
A poem by a poet with the name beginning with "X":
"Death always takes the shape". "Nocturne: The Bedroom" by Xavier Villaurrutia.
https://allpoetry.com/Xavier-Villaurrutia
I hadn't the patience to read Keats' epic; I added the audio recording because that's what I used to better enjoy the poem. Yes, the collection is quite nice too :)
A rather morose poem... enjoyed; also the analysis! :)
"Ye ancients of the earth, beneath whose shade" - Letitia Elizabeth Landon; The Cedars of Lebanon... https://www.bartleby.com/lit-hub/poe...-of-lebanon-2/
re Keats: I'll remember not to post to long poems.
"The Cedars of Lebanon". Love this kind of poetry.
"Today I reach the zenith of my life,"."The Zenith " by Hamish Mann
https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/zenith/
Lol... long poems are fine, I'll just find a video or audio version :)
War=glory... nuh-uh; another soldier/poet senselessly cut down. (sigh)
"Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night" - Edward Fitzgerald; The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam Of Naishapur... https://eliteskills.com/c/7246
The Rubayat looks interesting and complex, but I´ll have to read it later.
Editing not possible.
So:
"Beauteous is it in the summer-night, and calm"."Charlemagne and The Bridge of Moonbeams" by Emanuel Geibel
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...moonbeams.html
Enjoyed very much... a fanciful blessing by the spectre Charlemagne! Parker is whispering to me about the possibility of a "________ On The Bridge of Moonbeams” in the near future... I'll wait and see what she has in mind :)
"Creatures there are in life of such keen sight" - Francesco Petrarca; Sonnet XVII... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...net-xvii-28412
Petrarca- enjoyed the comparison with the moth.
"Dawn takes the everlasting skies"."A Cemetery in France" by Edwin Curran
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...in-france.html
"The dawn now takes it up the sky on wings / And in the song of every bird it sings, / The dead, the dead--gone on their wanderings."
"Even she too dead! all languor on her brow," - Walter De La Mare; Imogen... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...e/imogen-33529
"Imogen" - wonderful images! Enjoyed.
"Fair lake, so picturesque in space,". "Greenwood Lake" by Isaac McLellan
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...wood-lake.html
Beautiful lake back in the 19th century; I wonder if it is still as accessible. Enjoyed :)
"Gather, O gather," - Percy Bysshe Shelley; Cancelled Stanza... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...d-stanza-31376
Enjoyed but found the title curious.
"Had a birthday yesterday".The Birthday Party by Madison Julius Cawein
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...ay-party-11637
re: title - If my research analysis holds up it shows that "fragments" and "canceled stanzas", et al were part of Shelleys revision process. Using a search of the word "cancel" in the following document shows that the "canceled stanza" was removed from a greater work, but retained as a stand alone piece... https://www.iqbalcyberlibrary.net/fi...4//IPL0341.pdf
Sweet poem... enjoyed :)
From my friend and current El Dorado County, CA Poet Laureate:
"In a logged over meadow" - Steven Meadows; Tenmile... https://www.sacramentopoetrycenter.c...-brigit-truex/
re "canceled stanza": interesting information, tailor, thanks. In fact it works well as a stand alone piece as it´s meaning is complete in itself.
Enjoyed "Tenmile",interesting how the poet mingles landscape and history. I´m going to put the poem into the other American forum.
"KEEP a red heart of memories". "Haze" by Carl Sandburg
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/poem/5100/haze.html
"I know a woman is looking for you / and her soul is a corn-tassel kissing a south-west wind." - :) Enjoyed this poem by Sandburg very much!
"Lemon moon upon Azores and finbacks" - Michael Metivier; MARE COGNITUM... https://ariadnemag.com/michael-metivier/
