    Can anyone help me to discover a poem a saw only once?
    The first line is I think: If in limpid morning light of seasons yet to come.

    Alright, so I took an English class a few years ago which had a fantastic module on poetry. The book we used has a fantastic poem which I can't remember for the life of me and I'm hoping you can help. The poem was a defense of sad literature, with a man defending his choice of sad music to his friends at a bar, telling them if they wanted to be happy they could drink beer. The poem finished with a story about a king who fed himself a little poison each day in order to develop an immunity. I believe the author was British, and male. Beyond this I can't remember much. Thanks for your help!

      The earliest I can find this is in a story collected by the Brothers Grimm, " The Shepherd Boy." James Joyce uses the illustration in the sermon passage in his Portrait of the Artist as a Yo ... more

    Hi, Many years ago I watched an episode of " Tennyson, Anyone?" on PBS and this poem was recited. I just have the synopsis, no lines, I hope that someone on this site will be familiar with it and be able to give me a proper title, or artist name. The poem is about a man who destroys a witch. On his way home, after killing this woman, he meets her on the path. She is smiling and quite alive. Any info regarding this poem is much appreciated! Thank you, Lilly

    Looking for a poem I heard along time ago. It was about a painting of a boy and girl just before they were about to kiss. the poem is narrated from the view point of the boy in the painting. It starts off with him dreading the fact that his love is so close and yet he will never get to kiss her, but at the end of the poem he realizes what better place to be then at such a climactic moment with is love.

    It would mean a great deal if someone could lead me in the right direction as for the name of this poem.

    Thanks.

    Hi - I'm Dennis and I'm new to this site.
    I'm searching for two poems written by my Sister and first published in " On the threshold of a dream-vol 3" and " Distinguished poets of America" (both published by, I think, The National Library of Poetry.
    The first poem is called " The Bay" - first line begins: - " The field, now devoid of lush grass..." (it's about a horse rather than a harbour) and the second is " The Auction" first line begins " The roan shivered slightly from...." and is also about a horse. The author is CA Wilson who used to own a stables with many horses used for childrens and adults local rides. I would, if possible, like to find both poems on a website so that I can print copies and have framed for personal reasons.
    I would be most grateful for any help anyone can offer. Thank you. Dennis
