Favourite Poem

[KapitanVonWolf]

Ok, I seriously can not get this out of my head. But that is not a bad thing. This poem is just so... Words for me can not describe it.

On Time By John Milton.

Fly, envious Time, till thou run out thy race,
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets' pace;
And glut thyself with what thy womb devours,
Which is no more than what is false and vain,
And merely mortal dross;
So little is our loss,
So little is thy gain.
For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd,
And last of all, thy greedy self consum'd,
Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
With an individual kiss;
And Joy shall overtake us as a flood,
When every thing that is sincerely good
And perfectly divine,
With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine
About the supreme Throne
Of Him, t'whose happy-making sight alone,
When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall climb,
Then all this earthly grossness quit,
Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.

Eternity

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the wingèd life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.

~William Blake.

This was always my favourite poem till I heard On Time... I still love this one. But that one is stuck in my head... There is something more to it but I just can't grasp it right now.

All of my favorites are by Poe, and though I do have quite a few of them memorized, I am too damn lazy to either type them out or search them out and copy/paste them.

So let's just say, for me, it's a straight toss up between The Raven and Dream Within A Dream
