Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Poems Dedication The bird gives its songs to the day, The blossom its bloom to the sky, The fountain out-tosses its spray As a call to the cloud that goes by. The star on its glimmering path Pays toll to the sovereign night Of the uttermost good that it hath, In a tribute of tremulous light. What though the bird's carol be faint, The blossom be naught but a weed, And the garb of the fountain be quaint, And the heavens too distant to heed? What though the wan gleam of the star Be lost in the fulness of day? Evermore to the power afar Each offers the thing that it may. So I, like the star and the fount, The reiterant bird and the flower, Telling o'er the inadequate count Of the fruits of my harvesting hour, Fain to glean what I may from its store Before the brief reaping-time ends, With a sigh that the gift be no more, Lay my sheaf at the feet of my friends.

Download or read book Collected Poems written by Kingsley Amis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kingsley Amis’s poetry tackles all the grimly humorous subjects he tackled in his novels—lust, lost love, booze, money and the lack of it, old age, death—and does so with immense formal poise. A master of both traditional and unconventional meters with a perfect ear for parody, Amis wrote satires, epigrams, and rueful and scornful songs that are remarkable not only for their virtuosity and humor but for their scabrous realism. It all adds up to a small, entirely individual, and memorably bracing body of work. As Amis writes: “Beauty, they tell me, is a dangerous thing, / Whose touch will burn, but I’m asbestos, see?”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collected Poems, Vol. 2 A yard in front, a yard behind, So strait my world was grown, I stooped to win once more some kind Glimmer of twig or stone. I crossed and lost the friendly stile And listened. Never a sound Came to me. Mile on mile on mile It seemed the world around Beneath some infinite sea lay drowned With all that e'er drew breath; Whilst I, alone, had strangely found A moment's life in death.

Download or read book Collected Poems written by Arthur Rimbaud and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-06-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Rimbaud, the poet of revolt, and the greatest' Albert Camus Rimbaud is the enfant terrible of French literature, the precocious genius whose extraordinary poetry is revolutionary in its visionary, hallucinatory content and its often liberated forms. He wrote all his poems between the ages of about 15 and 21, after which he turned his back on family, friends, and France to roam the world. In his final years he was a trader in the Horn of Africa. Out of the brief, colourful life and the poetry of sensory wildness has been created the myth of Rimbaud, an enduring icon of youth, rebellion, and freedom. But behind the myth lies a poetic adventure of high ambition and painful rigour, poignant yet heroic. Rimbaud is one of the greatest French poets of all times. This bilingual edition provides all of Rimbaud's poems, with the exception of his Latin verses and some small fragments. It also includes some of his prose pieces, chosen because they offer a commentary on his poetic concerns.

Download or read book The Collected Poems written by Sylvia Plath and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath’s complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes. By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn’t get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but—after 1956—all she wrote. — Ted Hughes, from the Introduction
