It’s been a while since I’ve read such a bad book. I know they used to sell them in the dime collection back in Romania and they usually “forced” people to buy a bad book in order to get the one they really wanted. So during the summer hols I picked up this “treasure” andContinue reading “Paulina Borghese by Gregor Armand Book Review”

Rain BY EDWARD THOMAS – Poetry
Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me Remembering again that I shall die And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks For washing me cleaner than I have been Since I was born into solitude. Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon: ButContinue reading “Rain BY EDWARD THOMAS – Poetry”
Before Summer Rain – Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke
Suddenly, from all the green around you, something-you don’t know what-has disappeared; you feel it creeping closer to the window, in total silence. From the nearby wood you hear the urgent whistling of a plover, reminding you of someone’s Saint Jerome: so much solitude and passion come from that one voice, whose fierce request theContinue reading “Before Summer Rain – Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke”
Summer by Amy Lowell – Poetry
Some men there are who find in nature all Their inspiration, hers the sympathy Which spurs them on to any great endeavor, To them the fields and woods are closest friends, And they hold dear communion with the hills; The voice of waters soothes them with its fall, And the great winds bring healingContinue reading “Summer by Amy Lowell – Poetry”
Edgar A. Guest,“A Boy and His Dad”
What a peaceful poem. The theme is the father/son relationship and how the author’s own memories of his dad make his present day brighter. A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip— There is a glorious fellowship! Father and son and the open sky And the white clouds lazily drifting by, And the laughing streamContinue reading “Edgar A. Guest,“A Boy and His Dad””
A Summer Invocation by Walt Whitman
Thou orb aloft full dazzling, Flooding with sheeny light the gray beach sand; Thou sibilant near sea, with vistas far, and foam, And tawny streaks and shades, and spreading blue; Before I sing the rest, O sun refulgent, My special word to thee. Hear me, illustrious! Thy lover me—for always I have loved thee, EvenContinue reading “A Summer Invocation by Walt Whitman”
Sonnet 18 – “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines,Continue reading “Sonnet 18 – “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?””

Summer Moods by John Clare
I love at eventide to walk alone Down narrow lanes oerhung with dewy thorn Where from the long grass underneath the snail Jet black creeps out and sprouts his timid horn I love to muse oer meadows newly mown Where withering grass perfumes the sultry air Where bees search round with sad and weary droneContinue reading “Summer Moods by John Clare”
