Poe: macabre and dark

Oscar Wilde: decadence, incredible vivid, almost too much

Browning: loved the Scottish countryside

Bysshe Shelly: Mysticism with subtle meaning, very difficult to understand at times

What a disgrace

>Hughes:
'I was so sick last night I
Didn't hardly know my mind.
So sick last night I
Didn't know my mind.
I drunk some bad licker that
Almost made me blind.''


>Coleridge:
Like one, that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.
