poetry

• Before the last sea and the hapless stars; (Wilfred Owen, Insensibility)
• My living laughing love— / I hold him in the casket of my widow's head as he held me upon that next best bed. (Carol Ann Duffy, Anne Hathaway)
• One bright red poppy / I gave to you. (Isaac Rosenburg, In The Trenches)
• The fate you aim at me / is not light literature. (Margaret Atwood, Song of the Fox)
• O you misunderstand / a game is not a law, / this dance is not a whim, / this kill is not a rival.
  • I crackle through your pastures, / I make no profit/like the sun / I burn and burn, this tongue / licks though your body also. (Margaret Atwood, Song of the Fox)
• The woods are lovely, dark and deep, / But I have promises to keep, / And miles to go before I sleep, / And miles to go before I sleep. (Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening)
