Andrew Marvell was born in Winestead-in-Holderness, in the East Riding of Yorkshire on March 31st, 1621. He was educated at Hull Grammar School, and at the age of 13 he attended Trinity College, Cambridge, and eventually received his BA degree. It is thought that in 1642 Marvell travelled in Europe and, while England was embroiled in its civil war, remained there until 1647, mastering several languages including French, Italian and Spanish.

Story1
Today is a gift - that’s why it’s called the present, or as Ella Wheeler Wilcox says, it’s the "privilege". This timeless poetical work of art is reminiscent of Shakespeare’s "All the World’s a Stage", for both poems chronicle the various stages of life, however, this one ends with an air of optimism and sage advice. The poem was first published in the early 1900s and is every bit as relevant today as it was at the time of its conception. "Life Is a Privilege" is a mental elevator laced with exquisite poetic devices. Nutritional psychological food for the soul.

Sélection de vingt poèmes extraits des recueils Paroles, Histoires, La Pluie et le Beau Temps, Soleil de nuit et La Cinquième Saison. Chacun de ces poèmes laisse entrevoir la diversité des tons et des styles du poète. Amour, politique, fantaisie, tragédie, tout est sujet à poèmes pour ce jongleur de mots qu'était Jacques Prévert. Plutôt que de les faire publier, il préférait, dit-on, les faire chanter... Ceci explique peut-être le bonheur que ressent tout auditeur à l'écoute de ces textes savoureux.

Story1
John Donne (1573-1631) is considered by many to be the finest poet of the Elizabeth Age after Shakespeare. Ironically, poetry was not Donne's dominant preoccupation. In his own day, he was better known as a scholar, and, in later life, a clergyman. His verse was composed sporadically and in an offhand fashion and appears not to have been subjected to revision. In spite of occasional solecisms, his poetic verbiage is vigorous and compelling and marked by a striking use of imagery.

Seule comédie au milieu de la série des onze tragédies raciniennes, cette œuvre a toujours été considérée comme une pièce à part, une réussite isolée difficile à classer. Certains manuels d'histoire littéraire n'en font même pas mention : comment l'insérer dans un chapitre bien ordonné sur la "vocation tragique de Racine" ? Comme chez Aristophane qui l'inspira, caractères et faits sont poussés au-delà du vraisemblable.

L’Eneide non è un semplice poema epico ma il quadro di un passaggio fra il vecchio mondo pagano e il nuovo mondo cristiano (nondimentichiamoci infatti che Virgilio è stato la guida di Dante nella Commedia). Solo un poeta dalla ricca vita interiore come Virgilio, e dal potere evocativo dei suoi versi poteva farsi l’interprete di questo passaggio.

Le Metamorfosi descrivono molte trasformazioni di persone in alberi, bestie, pietre o stelle (o viceversa), ma operano loro stesse una metamorfosi più attraente: quella dei miti greci in piccole novelle fantastiche, con personaggi vivi e svariati per temperamento, raziocinio ed emotività. Nemmeno il successivo appannarsi del prestigio di Ovidio ha mai esaurito la lista dei riverberi letterari delle Metamorfosi, fino a ieri – probabilmente fino a domani.

Walt Whitman’s work influenced many later poetic voices, and no work more so than this epic American poem, 'Leaves of Grass', which he spent his entire life writing and constantly revising until his death. The work heralded a new dynamic relationship in poetry, with its candid and sensual interpretation of his observations and thoughts on the human spirit and all aspects of existence at a time when poetic tradition employed symbolism or allegory.

Avec le génial Louis de Funès dans le rôle de Géronte. Les fourberies de Scapin est une comédie de Molière en prose, créée en 1671 et fortement empreinte de comédie italienne. Du vivant de Molière, qui interprétait Scapin, elle ne connut qu'un faible succès ; à sa mort il devient immense, jusqu'à en faire une des pièces les plus jouées du répertoire français. En l'absence de leurs pères partis en voyage, Octave, fils d'Argante, s'est épris de Hyacinthe, jeune fille pauvre et de naissance inconnue qu'il vient d'épouser, ainsi que Léandre, fils de Géronte, de la "jeune Égyptienne" Zerbinette.

In ihnen zeigt Büchner Menschen im Spannungsfeld von Macht, Freiheit und existenzieller Not – mit einer sprachlichen Präzision und psychologischen Tiefe, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus waren. Auch die Erzählung Lenz zeugt von Büchners einzigartiger Fähigkeit, innere Zustände und seelische Grenzerfahrungen literarisch erfahrbar zu machen. Seine Texte brechen mit klassischen Formen, verzichten auf einfache Antworten und stellen die großen Fragen nach dem Menschen in einer oft widersprüchlichen Welt.

All languages are Allah’s. He has revealed, created, and moulded them, shaped them throughout the ages. Originally, mankind was one tribe S2 V213, and from it, all people descend, and all tongues, dialects, and vernaculars. So, there is a common bond, a genetic unity reflected also in words and cultures. Ultimately, this bond also exists in our common faith. The way that Allah communicates with man is through a common matrix of speech, and the way He reveals is through poetry, using metaphors and allegories.

This poem is a send up poem written about the insatiable drive that an over zealous optimist has of self, that possesses boundless energy, and enthusiasm for life, without fully realizing the implications and inherent mistakes that can come about. It encapsulates Youthful exuberance in spades, without the experience that sets a calculus on ones takeup of endeavours. This poem was written by myself sometime ago, and has only now had the opportunity to be spoken of.

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674). The first version, published in 1667, consists of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

Story0
This enigmatic poem is attributed to Seng-t'san, the third Chinese patriarch of Zen, who died in 606 CE. The tone of the work is revealed in the opening stanza in which the patriarch recommends dynamic introspection as the ideal attitude in solving the apparent problems of life. He urges the seeker neither to become trapped in the "outer entanglements of life" nor to isolate himself in solitude, but to remain calm in the procession of personal vicissitudes, seeing the essential oneness of all things.

Still, the Sky is a speculative mythology rendered through poetry that combines the tales of Icarus and the Minotaur and creates for them a shared coming of age through a correspondence of written fragments, artifacts, ecofacts, and ephemera. Fragmented memories, relics, and confessions combine in a labyrinth of fever dreams and meditations that contemplate innocence and experience, war and peace, exile and homecoming, flight and failure, love and loss.
