Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Longfellow "Death stays our hurrying feet, the great design unfinished lies, our lives are incomplete. " Flecker's play Hassan is also worth brooding over " who are ye in rags and rotten shoes, dirty bearded blocking up the way?" " We are pilgrims master, we shall go a little farther perhaps, across that blue mountain barred with snow or that angry or shimmering sea, there lives a prophet guarded in a cave who knows why men were born. But we are brave master, who takes the golden road to Sarmakand." |

I assume the OP means only English poets. Though my favorite all-time poet was Alfazazi Al Andalusi (Arabic), among my many favorites English poets is Henry W. Longfellow (1807-1882). I particularly love his: *Harun Al Rachid *A Psalm of Life *The Slave's Dream *The Potter's Song I also love Abou Ben Adhem by Leigh Hunt. |
