"Beauty is brief and violent"-SNEHAL VADHER
https://bookriot.com/poems-about-beauty/
Incredible poem! Wonderful collection!!: rich with a wide variety of styles and artists that I that I've read... and new ones introduced. Angst and love and beauty and... Surprised to see a poem by Audrey Hepburn too. Emily Dickinson !!!! “A Brown Girl's Guide to Beauty” by Aranya Johar broke my heart... also "Pretty". Langston Hughes ! Khalil Gibran !!: "People of Orphalese, beauty is life when
life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mir-
ror.
But you are eternity and you are the mir-
ror." !!! Used his poem "On Marriage" recently in a talk for a memorial for a dear friend.
... and on... WCW !! Interesting the dichotomy between the male and female view (especially modern). Beauty. (sigh).

Beautiful poem! Have to change perspective as January is the hottest month here.
"PASSING away, saith the World, passing away". Passing away by Christina Georgina Rossetti
I see what you mean by declaring the seasons from being in the Northern hemisphere by default might radically change the point of view and meaning of a poem... even your offering may be guilty. I'm nearly always guilty of this, but did make one concession with my poem "The Phlyarology of the Apanthropinizator
" from 3/21/2022. Here's one from the web that seems to be hemisphere neutral -
"Quick through the gates of Fairyland" - Fay Inchfawn Early Spring...
https://allpoetry.com/poem/8563023-E...y-Fay-Inchfawn
Liked the neutral poem!
re: It was just a comment, not a criticism. Itīs just a funny feeling, when I read about an icy January. But, of course, the poets will usually write according to their location.
The poet was a surprise: "Rome! what a scroll of History thine has been". Urbs Sacra Aeterna, Oscar Wilde
Enjoyed the homage to Rome the city and its history. Did not know he was a poet.

Beautiful! Didnīt think Poe could write something so serene.
"There is another sky" There is another sky by Emily Dickinson
Beautiful poem by Emily to her Brother.
Wilde's poem is both tragic and hopeful... the things he had to endure.
"Under a spreading chestnut-tree" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The Village Blacksmith
https://poets.org/poem/village-blacksmith
Liked it very much! It conveys a feeling of a peaceful, industrious, rounded up existence.

Liked specially the second poem about the wisteria girl!
Didnīt find a first line beginning with "X" but at least a title:
Xenophanes
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
By fate, not option, frugal Nature gave
One scent to hyson and to wall-flower,
One sound to pine-groves and to waterfalls,
One aspect to the desert and the lake.
It was her stern necessity: all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast and flower,
Song, picture, form, space, thought and character
Deceive us, seeming to be many things,
And are but one. Beheld far off, they part
As God and devil; bring them to the mind,
They dull its edge with their monotony.
To know one element, explore another,
And in the second reappears the first.
The specious panorama of a year
But multiplies the image of a day,--
A belt of mirrors round a taper's flame;
And universal Nature, through her vast
And crowded whole, an infinite paroquet,
Repeats one note.

Cool poem - way over my head. Googled and found these bios to help with my inadequate knowledge of (their) philosophies:

"Yellow suits. He wore yellow suits. To work, to mourn. He wore yellow" - S K Garcia Apr 2016 Yellow Suits
https://hellopoetry.com/words/yellow/
Thanks for the links, taylor. I'll have to go back to them, didnīt know anything about him either. Maybe the basic idea of the poem is contained here: "all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast and flower,
Song, picture, form, space, thought and character". It seems that everything in the universe is a variant of akind of basic stuff or substance.
Like those poems about yellow.
