If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends. -Jane Eyre

Misgivings - Herman Melville When ocean-clouds over inland hills Sweep storming in late autumn brown, And horror the sodden valley fills, And the spire falls crashing in the town, I muse upon my country's ills — The tempest bursting from the waste of Time On the world's fairest hope linked with man's foulest crime. Nature's dark side is heeded now — (Ah! optimist-cheer disheartened flown) — A child may read the moody brow Of yon black mountain lone. With shouts the torrents down the gorges go, And storms are formed behind the storm we feel: The hemlock shakes in the rafter, the oak in the driving keel. 1860 . #poetry #poem #poemoftheday #nationalpoetrymonth #nationalpoetrymonth2019 #hermanmelville #misgivings #1860 #1860poetry #greatpoems #classicpoems #hills #fog #rain #rainyday #weather #weatherpoems #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #poetryquotes #bookworm #bookstagrammer #reading #jsimpson (at Pittsfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4qBYXgZC-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jw6mjhpq0zpk

Paradise Lost - John Milton - Review

Paradise Lost is a "retelling" of the story of the Fall of Man.

Going into this book with nothing in mind but this simple assertion and the fact that am not that into poetry, I was stunned to say the least.

To think that Paradise Lost is based on the scripture, with the erudition of its creator and the eloquence of its blank verse, it can seriously stand as a scripture of its own. And it sort of has for it affected poets for centuries afterward and marked poetry forever.

Milton messes with any preconceived views of anyone's Faith and presents a discrepant perception of Truth as no one has presented or thought of before. All the while, never falling back on poeticity and the power of its words.

For me, the greatest thing about Paradise Lost is its ambiguity .. the way it leaves you unsure of what it really wants to say .. There's no final say about it, it only depends on what perspective or background you go into it. But no matter what preconception you already have in your mind, this poem will certainly destabilize you and not only during the reading experience. Nope. Paradise Lost is one of those books that you read and it sticks with you .. you don't ever fully recover from it. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/67157581-marwa-ben-khlifa">View all my reviews</a>

Because my mouth

Is wide with laughter

And my throat

Is deep with song,

You do not think

I suffer after

I have held my pain

So long?

Because my mouth

Is wide with laughter,

You do not hear

My inner cry?

Because my feet

Are gay with dancing,

You do not know

I die?

by Langston Hughes

Yesterday's #mermay2018 #classicbooks #colouringpage was the American classic The Scarlet Letter. I felt before the month ended I should do at least one #australianclassic but we're a pretty young country so I didn't know what classics books are public domain. However I think this #classicpoem is. I hope you enjoy. 😊 . . . . . #cukicreates #cukiartist #merfolk #mermen #mermaiddrawing #mermaidart #loishfbmermay #banjopaterson #aussie #australianliterature #australian #colouring #colouringbook #learningenglish #learningmadefun #holidayactivity #manfromsnowyriver #outback #horselover @adelaidecitylibraries
