Gatsby

the poem Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas

also,
AE Housman's LIV. With rue my heart is laden

WITH rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.

That bastard Proust's oeuvre.

But I much prefer the Chinese Tang poets.

Keats

To the lighthouse
Stoner

Flügelt ein kleiner blauer
Falter vom Wind geweht,
Ein perlmutterner Schauer,
Glitzert,flimmert,vergeht.
So mit Augenblicksblinken,
So im Vorüberwehn
Sah ich das Glück mir winken,
Glitzern,flimmern,vergehn.

Hesse

Leonard Nimoy's last tweet:

>A life is like a garden.
>Perfect moments can be had,
>but not preserved,
>except in memory.
>LLAP

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory --
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

>Shelley
