MelanieJaxn: How many times do I love, again?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain
Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:-
So many times do I love again.

JohnMcDonald15: Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-1849)
Macabre poet nearly contemporary with Poe. I usually bring him out on Holloween.
I think there is only one portrait of him & it is very inadequate.

I hate your ballads that are made to come
Round like a squirrel’s cage, and round again.
We nightingales sing boldly from our hearts:
So listen to us."

Liang17842387: Thomas Lovell Beddoes - A Clock Striking Midnight
Hark to the echo of Time’s footsteps; gone
Thise moments are into the unseen grave
Of ages. Thy have vanished nameless. None,
While they are deep under the eddying wave
Of the chaotic past, shall placea stone

LivesPoetry: On this day 26th January 2021
Thomas Lovell Beddoes’ obsession with death
ByDavidSlattery: By heaven and hell, and all the fools between them,
I will not die, nor sleep, nor wink my eyes,
But think myself into a god; old Death
Shall dream he has slain me, and I'll creep behind him,
And beat him into dust.
Thomas Lovell Beddoes killed himself today 1849
macleod_miss: January 20th is a short but sweet one by Thomas Lovell Beddoes. I'd never heard of Beddoes but after researching him I'm surprised that the poem is as positive as it is given his tragic life. This just goes to prove that you can never guess what's going on in someone's head.

JohnMcDonald15: Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-1849) is a Halloween tradition of mine. Graves, ghosts, moonlight, dead lovers, etc. He is best in parts, but some of those parts are brilliant lyric poetry. Nothing quite like him in English, though similar to some early Romantic German poetry.
JohnMcDonald15: Here are some of his poems, most if them bizarre, if not spooky.
typode: Is that the wind dying? O no;
It is only two devils, that blow
Through a murderer’s bones, to and fro,
In the ghosts’ moonshine.

RIPTFF: My ears, those entrances of word-dressed thoughts,
My pictured eyes, & my assuring touch,
Fell from me, & my body turned me forth
From its beloved abode: then I was dead;
And in my grave beside my corpse I sat,
In vain attempting to return
