For sale: baby shoes, never-worn.

Ozymandias by Shelley - only Sonnet length so quite easy.

If I could I would memorise Darkness by Byron but it's probably too long.

Not even The Raven tbqh. I need to get a few Psalms by heart.

I can recite 'Big Poppa' by Biggie Smalls in it's entirety from memory.

Up for grabs: baby shoes, untouched

My diary desu

Some thirty poems but probably I forgot many of them (though it's really easy to relearn a forgotten poem). Some of them were of the length of a Comedy's cantus.

wherefore was that cry?

the queen, my lord, is dead

she should have died hereafter
there would have been a time for such a word,
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
until the last syllable of recorded time
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death
out out brief candle
life's but a walking shadow
a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more
it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

billy shakes is some good shit desu

I've memorized some jordan peterson catchphrases and some of christopher hitchens retorts

The first chapter of Emerson's Nature.

Me chinese

This. I've memorized 4 Shakespeare monologues:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears

No matter where; of comfort no man speak

Signior Antonio, many a times and oft

I'll make my heaven to dream upon the crown

I've also memorized about half of the lovesong of j Alfred prufrock

the unabomber manifesto

My little dove, my sweetest dear,
How gently doth thou sing -
And gladly do I dream of thee
And all the joy you'll bring -
So call to you I often do
And hum with anxious tones,
Awaiting placing twixt thy flaps
My veiny syph'llis bone

A mermaid found a swimming lad
Picked him for her own
Pressed her body to his body
Laughed, and plunging down
Forgot, in cruël happiness
That even lovers drown

The Qu'ran

Quran

Herbert poem about Niobe i forgot it tho

It is an ancient mariner
And he stoppeth one of three
By thy long grey beard and thy withering eye
Now wherefore stoppest thou me?
