John Le Gay Brereton
Damages, Two Hundred Pounds
Special Jurymen of England! who admire your country's laws,
And proclaim a British Jury worthy of the realm's applause;

Which was tried at Guildford 'sizes, this day week as ever was.

A dream out of my arms to-day;

We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.
Let your arrogance go, and look around inside.

Paradise Lost: Book 07
Descend from Heaven, Urania, by that name
If rightly thou art called, whose voice divine
Following, above the Olympian hill I soar,
Above the flight of Pegasean wing!

John Milton
Old People's Home
All are limitory, but each has her own
nuance of damage. The elite can dress and decent themselves,
are ambulant with a single stick, adroit
to read a book all through, or play the slow movements of

W. H. Auden
Bedside Vigil
Listening as your last breath hovers
the despairing exodus we all enter,
of lost dreams, remorse's murmur
recalling sharply an accustomed life.

Up above the shadowy beech.
Her face is stupid, but her eye
Is small and sharp and very sly.

Thus, lit and launched, up and up roared and soared
A rocket, till the key o' the vault was reached,
And wide heaven held, a breathless minute-space,

O'er a certain bridge you have to cross
That's named, "Of the Angel:" listen why!

Robert Browning
Pot And Kettle

And though their sides were black with smoke they bubbled love within.

But after manned him for her own strong-hold.

All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow.
Their knickers are made of crepe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python,
Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with head of bison.

Louis Macneice
The Two Thieves
O now that the genius of Bewick were mine,
And the skill which he learned on the banks of the Tyne.
Then the Muses might deal with me just as they chose,
For I'd take my last leave both of verse and of prose.

William Wordsworth
Exiles
It goes on being Alexandria still. Just walk a bit
along the straight road that ends at the Hippodrome
and you'll see palaces and monuments that will amaze you.
Whatever war-damage it's suffered,

Spectator Ab Extra
As I sat in the Café I said to myself,
They may talk as they please about what they call pelf,
They may sneer as they like about eating and drinking,
But help it I cannot, I cannot help thinking

STATESMAN, I thank thee! and, if yet dissent
Mingles, reluctant, with my large content,
I cannot censure what was nobly meant.
But, while constrained to hold even Union less

"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
