>One thought fills immensity bro

Amore, mio giovine emblema,
Tornato a dorare la terra,
Diffuso entro il giorno rupestre,
E’ l’ultima volta che miro
(Appie’ del botro, d’irruenti
Acque sontuoso, d’antri
Funesto) la scia di luce
Che pari alla tortora lamentosa
Sull’erba svagata si turba.

Amore, salute lucente,
Mi pesano gli anni venturi.

I haven't read a lot of poetry yet, but, so far, this fellow is my favorite.

Rilke, obviously

Definitely Homer

'It is clear that Swinburne had an addictive personality, one nearly incapable of moderation. His criticism is perceptive and useful but suffers from praise too lavish of the things he liked and attacks too vituperative on those that he didn't. His poetry follows the by now standard pattern of early flourish and later decline; some of the fresher pieces in the second and third series of Poems and Ballads (1878 and 1889) were actually written during his days at Oxford. Nevertheless, his last collection, A Channel Passage, has some lovely poems, including "The Lake of Gaube." He is best remembered as the supreme technician in metre, with a versatility which exceeds even Tennyson's, but which lacks a corresponding emotional range. His obsessions are not widely enough shared; and if he can not shock us by the strangeness of his desires nor the shrillness of his anti-theistical exclamations, often too little remains.'

Yeats.

Damn Schneider

Have you got the Collected?

you ever read nightwood by djuna barnes?

I think elephant man called him the greatest lesbian poet since sappho

I hadn't even heard about it until now. Is it good? Does it remind you of those poets?

Shakespeare or Tennyson

one of the worst lists ive seen in my life

not that user, but it is nothing like those poets
it is a very good book though and should be read by anyone. If Donne was alive now he would like it.
