Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.

静かに息を引き取ろうとしている軽くなった猫の姿。夕闇に浮かぶ白い夕顔の花。ある日突然になくなってしまった書店――。生きるとは何とせつなく、出会うとは何と心を揺さぶる

"El gaucho Martín Fierro" es una obra capital de la literatura argentina y de la llamada literatura gauchesca, subgénero que describe, ensalza y defiende el modo de vida de los gauchos argentinos. Escrita en verso, se articula en torno a la vida del gaucho Martín Fierro, un matrero o fuera de la ley, de carácter heroico y sacrificado. La obra, de fuerte trasfondo político, supone una dura crítica contra el gobierno de la época por sus reclutamientos forzosos a los gauchos para las luchas contra los indígenas en los terrenos fronterizos.

L'elenco e l'ordine delle poesie che comprendono la raccolta fanno riferimento all'edizione napoletana dell'editore Saverio Starita che Leopardi stesso curò nel 1835, benché non ne fosse ortograficamente e tipograficamente soddisfatto. A questa edizione si usano aggiungere le modifiche che il poeta appuntò di propria mano o per mano di Antonio Ranieri sulla copia in suo possesso, oltre a due poesie successive, "Il tramonto della luna" e "La ginestra" (composte a Torre del Greco nel 1836).

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent and is a major text of Hinduism. Its discussion of human goals (artha or 'purpose', kama or 'pleasure', dharma or 'duty' and moksha or 'liberation') takes place in a long-standing tradition, attempting to explain the relationship of the individual to society and the world (the nature of the 'self') and the workings of karma.

Working from existing translations, Thomas Merton composed a series of his own versions of the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu, the most spiritual of Chinese philosophers. Chuang Tzu, who wrote in the fourth and third centuries BC, is the chief authentic historical spokesperson for Taoism and its founder, Lao Tzu (a legendary character known largely through Chuang Tzu’s writings).

Ceci est un enregistrement exceptionnel avec la voix d'Antonin Artaud. "Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu", est une création radiophonique du poète français Antonin Artaud. Les textes étaient lus par Maria Casarès, Roger Blin, Paule Thévenin et l'auteur. L'accompagnement était composé de cris, de battements de tambour et de xylophone enregistrés par l'auteur lui-même. Figure emblématique de l'artiste incompris, l'œuvre d'Antonin Artaud vise un absolu qui n'a convaincu que très peu de personnes de son vivant.

"Messieurs, en un mot autant qu'en deux mille, je vous dis que je ne suis point médecin." Sganarelle a beau protester, rien n'y fait : on veut qu'il soit médecin, quitte à le rouer de coups de bâton pour cela. Son premier cas ? Une jeune fille obstinément muette. Aux grands maux les grands remèdes, et ceux de ce médecin malgré lui sont des plus étonnants !

"Les fleurs du mal", in english "The Flowers of Evil", is a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. The poems deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism. The author and the publisher were prosecuted in France under the regime of the Second Empire as an "outrage aux bonnes mœurs" ("an insult to public decency"). Because of this prosecution, Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Victor Hugo announced that Baudelaire had created "un nouveau frisson" (a new shudder, a new thrill) in literature.

Continuing a collaboration started years ago, Benjamin Luxon and Frederick Moyer now turn to the little-explored genre of music for piano and narrator. Enoch Arden first came to international attention with a recording by Claude Raines and Glenn Gould but has since drifted back to obscurity. This is a work that both Luxon and Moyer have loved for many years. The poem is immediately accessible to any audience and tells a heart-wrenching story of friendship, love, separation, and sacrifice.

Les "Illuminations" ont été publiées en 1886, sous forme de feuilletons, dans la revue "La Vogue". Rimbaud a remis ces poèmes à Verlaine lors de leur rencontre à Stuttgart en mars 1875. C'est Verlaine qui s'est occupé de publier ces vers. Il y insère une préface dans laquelle il annonce que ces "ornementations colorées" se composent de "prose exquise ou vers délicieusement faux exprès".

"Une Saison en enfer" a été écrit en quelques mois, et c'est le seul recueil poétique que Rimbaud a voulu porter jusqu'à la publication. Il avait 19 ans.

These two great poems date from Shakespeare’s early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love - but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman tale of the Emperor Tarquin’s desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequencies. These poems give prominent parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.

Il Canzoniere di Francesco Petrarca è uno dei capolavori della poesia di tutti i tempi, rappresentando la linfa vitale per tutta la storia letteraria dell’occidente. L’antologia propone una sostanziosa scelta di rime capaci ancora oggi di parlarci con immutata, universale intensità.

Virgil's Georgics ranks as one of the most precious pastoral poems ever written, and it has served as a model for its type ever since. Georgics means "of or relating to agriculture or rural life" and it comes from the Greek word, "georgicus". Virgil's main theme in this, his second great work after The Eclogues, was the importance of peace both in the spiritual and physical sense.

Ryokan (1758–1831) is, along with Dogen and Hakuin, one of the three giants of Zen in Japan. But unlike his two renowned colleagues, Ryokan was a societal dropout, living mostly as a hermit and a beggar. He was never head of a monastery or temple. He liked playing with children. He had no dharma heir. Even so, people recognized the depth of his realization, and he was sought out by people of all walks of life for the teaching to be experienced in just being around him.
