Okay all you poetry buffs! :bigok: I need some help!
I need a poem from a Romantic poet. Not as in love romantic, but as in the style of writing romantic. Anyone with a good poem? Just thought I'd ask...since I'm bored... |

The splendor falls on castle walls
On snowy summit old in story The long light shakes across the lake And the wild cateract leaps in glory Blow bugles blow Set the wild echos flying Blow bugles answer echos Dying dying dying Oh hark! Oh hear! How thin and clear! And higher clearer farther going How sweet and far from cliff and scar The horns of elfland faintly blowing Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying Blow bugles answer echos Dying dying dying Oh love they die in yon rich sky They faint on hill and field and river Our echos roll from soul to soul And grow forever and forever Blow bugles blow Set the wild echos flying And answer echos answer Dying dying dying -- Lord Alfred Tynneson I think he classifies as romantic but don't quote me on that. I'm more an EE Cummings person myself. Still one of my all time favorite poets. |
Thanks, I like it...I'll definitely check with my teacher to make sure it's doable.

Tennyson is technically Victorian, not Romantic. Romantic era started with Wordsworth and Coleridge.
Coleridge tends to be a bit overblown for my taste but Wordsworth is pretty good. Also good are Shelly and Keats. Keats' "Ode to a Grecian Urn" is pretty much the manifesto of the late Romantic pantheistic philosophy. http://www.library.utoronto.ca/utel/rp/poe...ms/keats19.html But I likewise prefer later stuff, Frost in my case. A little more down to earth. |
Thanks for jogging the old memory DJ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
I like Frost as well, not usually fond of Keats. Ozymandius is an excellent poem by Shelly. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner would be fun to submit as it takes forever and a day to read it. Oscar Wilde writes some solid stuff, Ballad of Reading Gaol jumps to mind. Wha? I like poetry https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
Rotary Dragon, I guess Tennyson is out, but I really liked that poem.
Right now I have "A Complaint" by Wordsworth just so I have a poem for right now. I haven't even read it. What's this Ozymandius business about? Thanks everyone for your help. The Blue Bomber: What's the answer? |
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart . . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." -- Percy Bysshe Shelley I've got a limited edition print with part of Tynneson's poem on it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
But what does it all mean?

"Vanity! All is Vanity", cried the teacher - Ecclesiasties
In a nutshell Ozy was bragging about how powerful he was and how he stood over everything and yet thousands of years later no one knew his name or cared |
Romantic? Let's see....
There once was a man from Nantucket Whose dick was so long he could suck it ... Ah, shoot. I forget the rest. |
