DEAD POETS |
Which famous poet - now deceased - wrote the following lines? |
1. | Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death. |
2. | Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, |
3. | Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size |
4. | But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, |
5. | Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, |
6. | But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. |
7. | Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. |
8. | To keep your marriage brimming With love in the loving cup, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; Whenever you’re right, shut up. |
9. | f the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression Of something beautiful, but annihilating. |
10. | And into my garden stole. When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see, My foe outstretchd beneath the tree. |
