to be wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool (Part of an English lesson many years ago - Shakespeare I think?)I like it as it reminds me of school.

It's not famous outside of my family, but every New Year my nan used to say "May the best of your past be the worst of your future"

Always puts a smile on my face.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.

W B Yeats

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is a society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar;

I love not Man the less, but Nature more,

From these our interviews, in which I steal

From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel,

What I can ne’er express, yet can not all conceal.

Byron.

Is it possible that as Tolkien lived after Shakespeare he could have adapted it from the latter?

" ............

And never so powerfully performed as in Richard Burton's recitation....

Such an anguished rage against the unfairness of death....

Was it unfairness or simply the random nature of being called 'too soon'?"

Would nt that be part of the same coin?

"Do not go gentle into that goodnight

Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

Wow... what is the context of this, please? It does sound very dramatic and yet beautiful.

It's one of my favourite poems. I read it at my dads funeral. Almost didn't get through it.

Do No Go Gentle by Dylan Thomas. Google the full poem.I just did and yes, it is hauntingly beautiful.

And angry too.

And never so powerfully performed as in Richard Burton's recitation....

Such an anguished rage against the unfairness of death....

"

Burton bless him, at one with the singular 'Welshness' of Thomas... rage and defiance heartbreakingly articulated

It was Dylan Tomas' own rage over the loss of his father....

Thomas wanted to think of his father as a man that would 'fight' an exemplar of Welshman of his generation..a typically and forgivingly romantic ideal

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Possibly, but Dylan was dazzling , mercurial, extravagant, wild, romantic, flawed, unreliable, but deeply deeply human.. and we loved that

This poem defines how I feel about the woman in my life.....

Motel, by Brenda Brooks

You make me think of

long days and nights driving

through a hot, lush state.

The watermelons voluptuous

bursting to split

offering their engorged pink

their sweet water

from the roadside.

You make me remember

the way moss clings so tight

to certain stones,

the lobes and blossoms and

purple hues of things,

the throb and syncopation

of the tropical insect chant.

You take me back

to apples at night

ripening in their bowls

besides a southern window,

the red-rimmed, rainy moon

and the drenched whisper

of your rude secrets.

The way your fingers

broke into me

like a ripe peach.

The way you spread your-

self and staggered small,

moist kisses over my thighs,

my stomach, my breasts,

the sliding flutter of you

on my tongue,

the taste of your spices

on my lips.

If I buried this

desire for you deep

in the ground beside a

dried up motel in a dusty

tumble place

suddenly it would rain

and stay wet

all the purple night.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness;

but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching:

yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits.
