Come Into The Garden, Maud

© Alfred Tennyson

Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, Night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.

Come Into the Garde, Maud

Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, Night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.

The breezes pause and die,

Charge of the Light Brigade

© Alfred Tennyson

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

Comment

© Dorothy Parker

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.

Not in that wasted garden

Where bodies are drawn into grass

The press of the Spoon River Clarion was wrecked,

And I was tarred and feathered,

Colloquy in Black Rock

© Robert Lowell

Here the jack-hammer jabs into the ocean;
My heart, you race and stagger and demand
More blood-gangs for your nigger-brass percussions,
Till I, the stunned machine of your devotion,
Clanging upon this cymbal of a hand,
Am rattled screw and footloose. All discussions

Communism and Imperialism

© Allama Muhammad Iqbal

The soul of both of them is impatient and restless,


Both of them know not God, and deceive mankind.

Crow's Theology

© Ted Hughes

Crow realized God loved him-
Otherwise, he would have dropped dead.
So that was proved.
Crow reclined, marvelling, on his heart-beat.

Crow Sickene

© Ted Hughes

Decided to get death, but whatever
Walked into his ambush
Was always his own body.

Crow Goes Hunting

© Ted Hughes

He imagined some words for the job, a lovely pack-
Clear-eyed, resounding, well-trained,
With strong teeth.
You could not find a better bred lot.

Crow Communes

© Ted Hughes

"Well," said Crow, "What first?"
God, exhausted with Creation, snored.
"Which way?" said Crow, "Which way first?"
God's shoulder was the mountain on which Crow sat.
"Come," said Crow, "Let's discuss the situation."
God lay, agape, a great carcass.

Crow Blacker than ever

© Ted Hughes

When God, disgusted with man,
Turned towards heaven.
And man, disgusted with God,
Turned towards Eve,
Things looked like falling apart.

Crow and the Sea

© Ted Hughes

He tried ignoring the sea


But it was bigger than death, just as it was bigger than life.

Crow and Mama

© Ted Hughes

When Crow cried his mother's ear


Scorched to a stump.

Croquis

© William Ernest Henley

The beach was crowded. Pausing now and then,

He groped and fiddled doggedly along,
