The Greay Rock
Your cars than stories now in fashion, Though you may think I waste my breath Pretending that there can be passion That has more life in it than death, The moral's yours because it's mine. When cups went round at close of day -- Is not that how good stories run In their great house at Slievenamon. That he, when frenzy stirred his thews, Now from that juice that made them wise And trembling with her passion said, Who's burrowing Somewhere in the ground For he is the worst of all dead men.' lt...
The New Criticism and poetic formalism
In the early 1920s, a group of brilliant young poets initiated what would become one of the most important movements in twentieth-century American literature the New Criticism. The oldest of these poets, John Crowe Ransom, had been teaching at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1914. Along with another Vanderbilt instructor, Donald Davidson, as well as undergraduate students Allen Tate and Robert Penn Warren, Ramsom founded a literary magazine, The Fugitive. The members of...

Spring Planting
when our friends may and will die daily. Robert Lowell, Soft Wood Last year's sunflower stalks blacken at dusk, their huge exploded suns droop like the heads of mourners, frozen in somber procession. I carry my seedlings from the car snap peas, radishes, an experimental pole bean . . . My little green homunculi, my hostages to a future season, you've hardened in April's tonic breeze. We say you'll bear in so many weeks, that we'll be here to share the fruit it's easy to imagine the future...
The Ode And Deconstruction
There is often a predictable correspondence between the genres or types of the Romantic poem and its deployment of poetic form. The narrative poem will generally involve the use of the ballad, the stanza or blank verse. The accumulative, consecutive nature of these forms can accommodate and stabilise the relationship between the speaking presence and the pre-linguistic spatiotemporal nature of the reported events. The individual line or the stanzaic unit will not necessarily parallel the...
Freya Johnston
The Advertisement or history of the following production that prefaces Cowper's Task 1785 ascribes the work's style and initial choice of topic to an anonymous female acquaintance Lady Austen , who, fond of blank verse, demanded a poem of that kind from the author, and gave him the sofa for a subject. Abiding by a mock-chivalric code that, while it may have compelled him to obey such a whimsical command, also permitted him to do so at his leisure, Cowper outlines the poem's loose, associative...
They Were Welcome To Their Belief
Grief may have thought it was grief. Care may have thought it was care. They were welcome to their belief, The overimportant pair. No, it took all the snows that clung 5 To the low roof over his bed, Beginning when he was young, To induce the one snow on his head. But whenever the roof came white The head in the dark below 10 Was a shade less the color of night, A shade more the color of snow. Grief may have thought it was grief. Care may have thought it was care. But neither one was the thief...
The English Sonnet II
Scope This lecture continues our investigation of the growth of the sonnet as a genre, discussing what innovations in form, language, and subject matter are made by Shakespeare's contemporary, John Donne, and then by Milton later in the seventeenth century. The eighteenth century was not a time for sonnet writing, so we jump to the nineteenth century to Wordsworth, who an interesting fact wrote more sonnets than any other major English poet including his Ecclesiastical Sonnets, a history of the...

meters of boethius Alfred the Great
ca. ninth century Two different versions of BOETHIUS's Consolation of Philosophy exist in Old English, both dated to the ninth century. One renders all of the Consolation into Old English prose. The other treats only the verse sections of the Consolation and is an adaptation of the corresponding sections of the old English prose version into Old English poetry. This version is known as Meters of Boethius, and both have been attributed to Alfred the Great. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of...
Address To The Turtledove
Soon after his return from the land of Zebeed, Antar was present at a feast, given by the tribe of Fazarah to the Absians, in a spacious meadow, abounding in springs and fountains, trees and flowers. The wine cups went merrily round, and beautiful maidens sang the most enchanting melodies. But Antar thought only of his lost darling and going out of the tent, he heard the melancholy voice of the turtle-dove, and thus he expressed his feelings O bird of the tamarisk thou hast rendered my sorrows...
The Other
What did I leave untouched on the doorstep Streaming between my walls Smilingly, blue lightning Assumes, like a meathook, the burden of his parts. The police love you, you confess everything. Bright hair, shoe-black, old plastic, Is it for this you widen your eye-rings Is it for this the air motes depart They are not air motes, they are corpuscles. Open your handbag. What is that bad smell It is your knitting, busily Hooking itself to itself, It is your sticky candies. I have your head on my...

Bridal wreath. White rhododendron. Dogwood. My town. At dawn, six or seven people hard to know if one shape's just a bundle sleeping on the Common's tender new grass and on the granite benches. Dandelion puffs cluster in the green didn't we once take deep breaths and blow the gossamer off and make a wish With each return home, I seem to love it more, yet with less terror. What would I wish for now What wasn't working still isn't. My friends' sorrows, mine again. If only we could carry this...

Apprehensions
There is this white wall, above which the sky creates itself Infinite, green, utterly untouchable. Angels swim in it, and the stars, in indifference also. They are my medium. The sun dissolves on this wall, bleeding its lights. A gray wall now, clawed and bloody. Is there no way out of the mind Steps at my back spiral into a well. There are no trees or birds in this world, There is only a sourness. This is what I am made of, this and a terror Of being wheeled off under crosses and a rain of...

The 19 verses of the 51st Psalme reflect on the need for sinners to confess their sins so that they can receive God's...

On Taking From The Top To Broaden The Base
Roll stones down on our head You squat old pyramid, Your last good avalanche Was long since slid. Your base has spread too wide, For you to roll one stone Down if you tried. Another shot through glass, Demanding proof.
John Lyly 15541606
Cupid and my Campaspe played At cards for kisses Cupid paid. He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves and team of sparrows, 5 Loses them too then down he throws The coral of his lip, the rose Growing on's cheek but none knows how , With these the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin 10 All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes She won, and Cupid blind did rise. Oh Love has she done this to thee What shall alas become of me
Ernest Fenollosa And The Ideogram
In December 1913, Pound began editing the papers of the renowned American philosopher Ernest Fenollosa, at the invitation of Fenollosa's widow. Fenollosa had lived and worked in Tokyo for many years as a professor of philosophy and political economy, and had become an expert on Japanese and Chinese art and literature. Among his papers was an essay, 'The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry', which Pound edited and published in the American literary journal, The Little Review, in...
ON THE DEATH OF WALLER Aphra
Behn 1687 Aphra Behn suitably honored the poet Edmund Waller by imitating his style in a panegyric she wrote to commemorate his death. The label for the type of poem written to praise an individual publicly derived in part from the Greek term panegurikos, meaning a speech for a public festival. One of the most popular and influential poets of his day, Waller had himself written panegyrics for both oliver Cromwell and King Charles II, symbolizing the reversals of his political loyalties that...

In this elegy readers may conflate the speaker with the poet.

In the first stanza Philips...

Family Plot October
I'm digging at my father's grave, my mother holding the rusty mums she's carried here to make a little garden before the first frost. Three years today, and the grass is a damp brown rectangle over his cryptic body that's guarded by earth from my more morbid speculations. Perpetual care's contracted out here, so no one's responsible for the dried-out tap, the graveyard's shameless posture of neglect, certainly not this pair of purposeful mourners with trowels for their profusions of unopened...

On Going Unnoticed
As vain to raise a voice as a sigh In the tumult of free leaves on high. What are you in the shadow of trees Engaged up there with the light and breeze Less than the coral-root you know That is content with the daylight low, And has no leaves at all of its own Whose spotted flowers hang meanly down. You grasp the bark by a rugged pleat, And look up small from the forest's feet. The only leaf it drops goes wide, Your name not written on either side. You linger your little hour and are gone, And...

On such a night, at the end of the river, the airport would sputter with planes like ticker-tape. to the clumps of women in cotton dresses, to the patches of fog...

Sky And Earth As A Pair
In the lengthy lists of deities invoked as witnesses to Hittite treaties, 'Heaven and Earth' regularly appear as a pair. They do not, to be sure, stand in a position of any prominence but in the middle of the closing sequence of cosmic entities 'Mountains, Rivers, Springs, the Great Sea, Heaven and Earth, Winds and Clouds'.61 The Vedic evidence is of much greater mythological interest. Here Dyaus the father is frequently paired with Prthivi the mother. O Heaven our father, Earth our guileless...
Ginsbergs direct response to Song of MyselfHowl
First it must be noted how contrasting the two titles are themselves. It's easy to be surface-orient-ed with this poem indeed, critical attention has focused on the long lines and spontaneous feel of the writing Ginsberg had Kerouac's Rules for Spontaneous Prose written on the wall of the apartment in which he composed Howl . It's also easy to concentrate on the poem's breakthrough use of obscenity and overt gay references, it's also important to remember the results of the Howl trial in 1957....
The Freedom of the Moon
I've tried the new moon tilted in the air Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster As you might try a jewel in your hair. I've tried it fine with little breadth of lustre, Alone, or in one ornament combining With one first-water star almost as shining. I put it shining anywhere I please. By walking slowly on some evening later, I've pulled it from a crate of crooked trees, And brought it over glossy water, greater, And dropped it in, and seen the image wallow, The color run, all sorts of wonder...

As if my answering machine were a rejection, you'd leave your forlorn message Call your father. . . . Then, a dial tone. Guilty of being out, or busy, I never thought to save the tape, to keep some resonance and pitch of you, if only in those four syllables tremulous, demanding, but tangible as the snapshot I found today, a torn dwarf, her plump gray face shadowing as she squatted on our front porch, tight braids, strange frown, white Mary Janes.

Sweet Babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles. As thy softest limbs I feel, Smiles as of the morning steal O'er thy cheek, and o'er...
Marlowe Christopher 15641593
Born in Canterbury in 1564, Christopher Marlowe was the son of a shoemaker. In January 1579, he was awarded a scholarship to the King's School in Canterbury. Near the end of 1580, he enrolled at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, where he had received a scholarship intended for students who planned to become clergymen. He received his B.A. in July 1584 and his M.A. in July 1587. The award of the latter degree has left a tantalizing biographical mystery. The university was going to...
