Fifty best Poems of England

Fifty best Poems of England

Love's Secret by William Blake (1757-1827)

NEVER seek to tell thy love,
    Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
    Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
    I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.
    Ah! she did depart!

Soon after she was gone from me,
    A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
    He took her with a sigh.

Literary Appropriations of Myth and Legend

Literary Appropriations of Myth and Legend by Ewa Młynarczyk.
The aim of the book is to show that the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Morris, Algernon Charles Swinburne and William Butler Yeats prove that myths and legends could still be employed in original and creative ways. Not only do these poets show keen awareness of the classical heritage but they also venture into other cultural areas, exploring Celtic and Norse themes and adapting them for their particular needs.
