EllinAnderson: A.E. Housman saying more with less:
When I came last to Ludlow
Amidst the moonlight pale,
Two friends kept step beside me,
Two honest lads and hale.
Now Dick lies long in the churchyard,
And Ned lies long in jail,
And I come home to Ludlow
Amidst the moonlight pale.

Were light and fleeting,
Of lovers' meeting
Or luck or fame.
Mine were of trouble,
And mine were steady;
So I was ready
When trouble came.

jobourne: “In the morning, in the morning,
In the happy field of hay,
Oh they looked at one another
By the light of day.
In the blue and silver morning
On the haycock as they lay,
Oh they looked at one another
And they looked away.”

An excerpt from his poem
“To an Athlete Dying Young”
tiannelli: Agued once like me were they,
But I like them shall win my way
Lastly to the bed of mould
Where there's neither heat nor cold.
But from my grave across my brow
Plays no wind of healing now,
And fire and ice within me fight
Beneath the suffocating night.
BY A. E. HOUSMAN

AnneMuntean: A Shropshire Lad
XL
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

For fellows whom it hurts to think:

To see the world as the world's not.

mikerburch: Mayflies (I)
by Michael R. Burch
after A. E. Housman
These standing stones have stood the test of time
but who are you―and what are you―and why?
As brief as mist, as transient, as pale...
Inconsequential mayfly!

What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.
