The Second Coming - Yeats William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? The Second Coming was written in 1919 in the aftermath of the first World War. This printing of the poem has a page break between lines 17 and 18 making the stanza division unclear. Several of the lines in the version above differ from those found in subsequent versions. Yeats, William Butler.
Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to manDown to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile groundWith walls and towers were girdled round:And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;And here were forests ancient as the hills,Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slantedDown the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!A savage place! The shadow of the dome of pleasureFloated midway on the waves;Where was heard the mingled measureFrom the fountain and the caves.It was a miracle of rare device,A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice! A damsel with a dulcimerIn a vision once I saw:It was an Abyssinian maid,And on her dulcimer she played,Singing of Mount Abora.Could I revive within meHer symphony and song,To such a deep delight 'twould win meThat with music loud and longI would build that dome in air,That sunny dome!
Literature Project - Free eBooks Online untitled lm Tóibín reads Music at Annahullian by Eugene McCabe Tóibín on McCabe Eugene McCabe is one of Ireland's most accomplished short story writers. He has also written a novel, Death and Nightingales, which is one of the best books to come out of Ireland in the past 20 years, and a play, King of the Castle, which has a central part in the Irish repertoire. His territory, the borderlands between Monaghan and Fermanagh, is also a place of the soul, a place in which little is said and much is understood, in which emotions are fierce and memories are long, in which much is hidden and submerged. The scene is bleak, broken by an energy in the writing, which comes from the very exact descriptions of things, places, characters, and the use of a second voice within the voice of the story, as though someone were speaking as much as writing.

The Lamb by William Blake Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee.

A review of Quentin S. Crisp's Defeated Dogs Details Published on Thursday, 29 August 2013 13:13 Written by Seregil of Rhiminee Quentin S. Crisp's Defeated Dogs was published by Eibonvale Press in April/July 2013. Information about Quentin S. Quentin S. Information about Defeated Dogs: This book is the fifth original fiction collection from one of the true eccentrics of modern British writing – stories that blend erudite skill and a startling emotional intensity, classical elegance and unexpected experimentation, sophisticated miserablism and innocent beauty. For all the diversity of styles in evidence, they are united by the author's distinctive voice – a window into a crepuscular human world torn between magic and reality, earth and infinity. "To call Crisp's stories simple would be to malign them; to say that they are complex would be to slander, for the highest art is that which, in its directness, its naturalness, says what it has to say without pretence." -Brendan Connell – from the Introduction Quentin S. I first read Quentin S.
