propertian: strong a.e. housman energies in the degree to which this essay is less an "analysis" than an outraged eight-page roast, complete with bullet points in my outline like "deeply awkward absence of parallelism (unforgivable)"
BF_Armstrong: I read some A. E. Housman at a ball last night and a confused/impressed person thought that I had written it myself...
If I were to write my own poetry I probably wouldn’t use the word “lad” with such frequency

hibahshabkhez: Oh who is that young sinner with the handcuffs on his wrists?
And what has he been after, that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscience-stricken air?
Oh they’re taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.
--- A. E. Housman on Wilde
G_Bienvenu: The troubles of our proud and angry dust are from eternity, and shall not fail. Bear them we can, and if we can we must. Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale.

TomLondon6: LOVELIEST OF TREES, THE CHERRY NOW
by A. E. Housman
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

recitepi2025: “Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I brave.
And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they’ll say that I am quite myself again.” A.E.Housman (1859-1936)

justAfanDavid: ...
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.”
― A.E. Housman

A. E. Housman, “To an Athlete Dying Young”
Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.
dburke88220: With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a Lightfoot lad.
By Brooks too far for leaping
The Lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.

But young men think it is,
And we were young”

jofr: The title of the book was inspired by a poem from A.E. Housman which asks "What shall I do or write against the fall of night?" Somehow these lines must have touched Arthur C. Clarke during the times of WW II.
