Handsome, witty, debonair - just a few of the things no one has ever said about me!

Another of Robert’s conquests

Sae flaxen were her ringlets, Her eyebrows of a darker hue, Bewitchingly o'er-arching Twa laughing een o' bonie blue. Her smiling, sae wyling, Wad make a wretch forget his woe! What pleasure, what treasure, Unto those rosy lips to grow! Such was my...

What’s eating me?

Something has bitten me in a very odd pattern and a very odd place. How on earth did it get there? It’s freezing November there’s no biting insects around.

Qualified for Australia

Since moving from Leicester Tigers to Western Force it looks like he has settled on Australia for his future. He never got a call up for England and considering the current plight of rugby in Australia they could do with a top class winger who could...

Isabella and the pot of basil

I’m always fascinated by this picture by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Holman Hunt. It is a depiction from a scene in Keats poem Isabella. For those of you who don’t know her deceased lover’s head is I the pot of basil! The detail in the picture is...

On the death of Marie - Pierre de Ronsard

Ronsard was always writing poems to his lady loves who had rejected him (nearly all if them). This one written in 1555 mourns the death of Marie Dupin aged 30. Comme on voyst sur la branche au moys de May la rose En sa belle jeunesse, en sa premiere...

Shakespeare sonnet

You can’t beat William for a good love poem. Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy; Anon permit the basest...

Did you do any traditional Easter activities

Pace egg rolling, jarping, long rope skipping, dancing round the maypole? I didn’t do any.

Even Homer Sometimes Nods

Any examples of bad lines ftom good poets.. What about this from Milton… And young and old come forth to play On a sunshine holiday Appropriate gir the Easter hols perhaps1

More romantic poetry

Du bist wie eine Blume, So hold und schön und rein; Ich schau’ dich an, und Wehmuth Schleicht mir in’s Herz hinein. Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände Auf’s Haupt dir legen sollt’, Betend, daß Gott dich erhalte So rein und schön und hold. Heinrich...

The Awakening Conscience

A bit of Victorian morality from Holman Hunt. Somehow Hunt and the model Annie Miller always seem to me to be the inspiration for Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle.

A favourite romantic poem - Heidenröslein

Sah ein Knab' ein Röslein stehn,  Röslein auf der Heiden,  War so jung und morgenschön,  Lief er schnell es nah zu sehn,  Sah's mit vielen Freuden.  Röslein, Röslein, Röslein rot,  Röslein auf der Heiden.  Knabe sprach: "Ich breche dich,  Röslein...

Always love this poem

Tedd a kezed homlokomra, mintha kezed kezem volna. Úgy őrizz, mint ki gyilkolna, mintha éltem élted volna. Úgy szeress, mint ha jó volna, mintha szívem szíved volna. Jószef Attila My attempt at a free verse translation! Put your...

Just one of those romantic poems I rather like

Jenny kiss’d me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your list, put that in! Say I’m weary, say I’m sad, Say that health and wealth have miss’d me, Say I’m growing old, but add, Jenny kis...

I Hate Bad Grammar

I've just noticed this on my profile page, “Your Circle is a list of members you are Following, whom do not currently Follow you back. You may see your Circle's content more frequently." Can somebody please correct it. I get nightmares even...
