The soul's Rialto hath its merchandize; I barter curl for curl upon that mart, And from my poet's forehead to my heart Receive this lock which outweighs argosies,— As purply black, as erst to Pindar's eyes The dim purpureal tresses gloomed athwart The nine white Muse-brows.
The bay crown's shade, Beloved, I surmise, Still lingers on thy curl, it is so black! Many in aftertimes will say of you by Christina Rossetti December 30, This entry was posted in Christina Rossetti by romantic-poetry-by-famous-poets. The title includes "with a prose supplement. Not the title, but that a book called One Hundred and One Famous Poems would include a prose supplement. Actually, it was probably the prose they selected that annoyed me even more. These were not Famous Political poems, yet the supplements were: Other than some unnecessarily political prose, though, the selection of poems was pretty good.
I rather enjoyed these poems as I read them, and I used the time and the book to introduce myself to new poem and new poets. Definitely a good resource for a beginner's introduction to poetry. I'm actually the third in my generation to own a copy of this book, so reading this was a rite of passage for me in a way. This collection is classic and has such a great breadth of styles and talents, and such a great selection of poetry that really is fundamental for any great reader who appreciates all genres of writing.
It is inspiring and relaxing, and I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great poetry anthology! This is a book my dad always had on his bookshelf, and my brother was kind enough to get it for me for my birthday. Some of the poems in it are kind of questionable not for content, just for general inclusion , but many of them are the classics: Great stuff in here.
This is one book that will be on my bookshelf for a long time, too. Jan 02, Diana Long rated it it was amazing. A nice collection of poems, sonnets,odes and documents compiled by Mr. These are famous to be sure but only represent a small sampling of the many works written though time. This type of writing is in my opinion the most personally attached to that writer.

Reading these types of work are personal as well. At one time or another I think we would pretty much concur that we all have had moments expressing or thoughts using this form. Mar 03, Pharaba rated it it was amazing. This will never be marked as 'finished reading' as it is one I pick up so often I am never truely done with it. My edition is missing a page from the prose, however. The page is there, it was just left blank. Is there anyone willing to share "Rules For Choosing Books"?
I would love to at least insert it until I get a complete copy. Apr 27, Michelle rated it liked it. I really want to like poetry more than I do. Aug 26, Holly Lindquist rated it it was amazing Shelves: If you buy one poetry collection in you lifetime, this one is a superb choice. Apr 19, Jan rated it liked it.
Fun but outdated, and VERY white and male. Useful now mostly as a document of how tastes change.
I have a small but growing collection of poetry books, and this one is definitely one of my favorites. I don't remember when or where I got it, but it has become a treasured friend on my bookshelf. This book was compiled in the early 20th century, so none of these poems are contemporary. They are, however, all classics. Of course, you also have a few choice selections from Shakespeare. If you like classic, timeless lit I have a small but growing collection of poetry books, and this one is definitely one of my favorites.
If you like classic, timeless literature, this is the book for you.
Especially Alfred Noye's The Highwayman, a romantic tale of the robber who loves Bess, the landlords' dark-eyed daughter. Some are there, to be sure. This book was compiled in the early 20th century, so none of these poems are contemporary. In future I would read a poem or two a day so I could reflect on each for a time. I'm actually the third in my generation to own a copy of this book, so reading this was a rite of passage for me in a way.
These poems address love, life, nature, spirituality, and much more. Some are inspirational, some are beautiful, some are kind of confusing. There is something here for everyone to enjoy. It's worth your time to mark which ones you liked best and come back to them time and time again. This is a book to live with, not to keep on a shelf looking nice.
101 Romantic Ideas
As if having great works of poetry in one volume isn't enough, there are also portraits of most of the poets next to their poems. You also get a short prose supplement near the end with the Declaration of Independence and more. There are, perhaps, some pieces that could have been added to that section, but this is a poetry book for the most part. I realize my review doesn't really sell this book as much as it needs, so I'll just say that it is an essential collection for any poetry lover. This is a keeper, so get yourself a copy and start reading. I am told that this anthology contains some of my grandfather's favorite poems, and that it never has been out of print since it first was published in the nineteen teens.
The poems included are diverse and appear to reflect the compiler's personal tastes. Some of the poets are well-known to everyone for example, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Byron, and Longfellow , some probably were well-known in their day but forgotten now, and still others likely were obscure even in their own time. The poetry se I am told that this anthology contains some of my grandfather's favorite poems, and that it never has been out of print since it first was published in the nineteen teens. The poetry selections themselves range from serious verse to mere doggerel, though amusing doggerel.
The compiler plainly sympathized with the expansionist, building ethos of late nineteenth and early twentieth century America. Indeed, the first poem in the selection, "The Builders" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, explicitly celebrates that ethic. More modern poetry anthologies tend to lean toward other subject matters and disdain such notions as bourgeois. In this sense, Famous Poems is a creature of its time, just as other anthologies reflect the eras in which they were compiled.
Most people, even serious readers, rarely read poetry. That is unfortunate, and this anthology is well worth the reader's time and attention. Feb 18, Danielle rated it really liked it. The date us when I first received a copy of this book and began reading it. I've been reading it ever since. While I've read several of the poems more times than I can count, I still haven't read all of them.

I like to read, re-read and ponder a poem, so it's slow going. What I really love about this collection is that the poems in it have a decidedly lyrical bent. I enjoy poems meant to be read out loud, with a cadence you can hear, and most of the poems in this book fit that description.
