VSW-Knew only about her relationship with VW. For both writers (and their husbands) it was very anguishing going against the social conventions of England. The bars of the great cats.

Interesting life. I saw one film of the Narnia chronicles, but never read anything by him. I liked the poem.

LC: Cute acrostic poem; I've written a handful myself (they're fun). "Jabberwocky" has been dear to me since I read the short story "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" anciently... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimsy_Were_the_Borogoves which was adapted into the movie "The Last Mimzy"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Mimzy .

LC-Mimzical developments!
CE-Poem reads almost like poetic prose. But the poem form better masques the content.

EC: "Political" would be an understatement... and yet a man of faith, though radical. His poem a rambling of corruption devolving occasionally into humorous word transmogrification.

SA: An uncommon voice with a sense of humor, and pathos, about the indigenous American. (lol)... How to create the stereotypical American Indian poem, or movie for that matter.

JD: Quite the homage. KK: Esperanto poetry... I remember one semester maybe of exposure to Esperanto in elementary school, and that was that.... I can still count to ten and that is all I remember. Not a warm fuzzy poem; a sign of his milieux.

The Kiss in the Dream (1805)

epoch Photography: Romance
Stanzas : 3, Verses : 14
Verses per verse : 1-4, 2-4, 3-6
Words : 99, sentences : 6
1 01
It has breathed a kiss to my life,
02
Gestillet of my breast deepest languishment,
03
Come, darkness! To leave me comfortably,
04
That fresh bliss sucks my lip.
2 05
In dreams, such a life was dipped,
06
So I live to look at dreams forever,
07
May despise all other pleasures
08
Because only the night so sweet balsam breathes.
3 09
The day is barren with loving delights,
10
It hurts me of his light vain pranks
11
And consume his sun's embers.
12
So let the eye of the earth shine upon you!
13
Enfold yourself in the night, she is styling your desire
14 And heals the pain as Lethes cool flood.

1 01
Es hat ein Kuß mir Leben eingehaucht,
02
Gestillet meines Busens tiefstes Schmachten,
03
Komm, Dunkelheit! mich traulich zu umnachten,
04
Daß neue Wonne meine Lippe saugt.
2 05
In Träume war solch Leben eingetaucht,
06
Drum leb' ich, ewig Träume zu betrachten,
07
Kann aller andern Freuden Glanz verachten
08
Weil nur die Nacht so süßen Balsam haucht.
3 09
Der Tag ist karg an liebesüßen Wonnen,
10
Es schmerzt mich seines Lichtes eitles Prangen
11
Und mich verzehren seiner Sonne Gluthen.
12
Drum birg dich Aug' dem Glanze irrd'scher Sonnen!
13
Hüll' dich in Nacht, sie stillet dein Verlangen
14 Und heilt den Schmerz, wie Lethes kühle Fluthen.
GG: "Abstemious" threw me, I don't think I've run across the word before. Comparing others to the snail to their detriment is amusing; his wit and satire his lance against windmills apparently effective.

KvG´-Tks for pasting the poems.
Some improvements on the meanings of the Google translation:
02-Gestillet= calmed or calming;
03-Come darkness surround me with nightly sweetness;
04-That my lips may suck fresh bliss/delight;
10-The day is barren of loving delights;
11-I´m hurt by it´s vain display of light;
12-And consumed by the glowing sun;
13-Therefore, my eyes. shun the splendor of earthly suns;
14-...she assuages your desire
GG-Quite an adventurous figure.

Thanks ! A tweak or two might help with the translation further, but I see the improvement.
