Sleep on! awake! what skills your sleep to me-- Me, among all the dead by you dishonoured-- Me from whom never, in the world of death, Dieth this curse, "'Tis she who smote and slew", And shamed and scorned I roam? Awake, and hear My plaint of dead men's hate intolerable. Me, sternly slain by them that should have loved, Me doth no god arouse him to avenge, Hewn down in blood by matricidal hands.

This now seminal collection of sixty-three poems was originally self-published by Housman in 1896 after rejections from publishers. None saw its potential. Housman, it is said, originally wanted to name the book, The Poems of Terence Hearsay, referring to a character within, but changed the title to A Shropshire Lad at the suggestion of a colleague. The poems were mainly written in 1895 whilst Housman was living in Byron Cottage in Highgate. The book sold slowly. The initial print run of 500 took two years to sell through. However by 1911 annual sales were in the order of 13,500 copies and, during World War I, the book accompanied many young men into the trenches. It thereafter became a cultural icon, remembering a gentler time, a better time. Housman did confess that much of what he had written about, especially in terms of terrain and geography was assumed rather than known. But such poetic licence is easily set aside when the finished work is read and admired.? As George Orwell later remembered, "these were the poems which I and my contemporaries used to recite to ourselves, over and over, in a kind of ecstasy".Ver livro

The beating heart, the drumbeat, the very force of life. What then when we say ‘it breaks’? ‘I’m heart-broken’? Few of us escape a life without some measure of heartache and the pain it causes. In this volume we give full rein to our classic poets across the centuries from Shakespeare and Aphra Behn to Rupert Brooke, Edna St Vincent Millay, A E Housman and continue through Radclyffe Hall, Emily Dickinson and Oscar Wilde. It is a journey through feelings, thoughts and expressions in words that we instantly understand, claim as our own and yet reveal other layers, other avenues of thought. Whether to soothe the soul, to reconcile with a different perhaps fractured reality, and come to terms with dejection, rejection or vent with bitterness, rage and seek revenge, our poets have words and lines of verse to help balm, repair and better understand these emotional times. 01 - 50 Shades of a Broken Heart - An Introduction 02 - Ebb by Edna St Vincent Millay 03 - Heart We Will Forget Him by Emily Dickinson- 04 - I Prithee Send Me Back My Heart by Sir John Suckling 05 - Loves Lies Bleeding by Algernon Charles Swinburne 06 - My Own Heart, Let Me Have More, Have Pity by Gerard Manley Hopkins 07 - They Flee From Me by Sir Thomas Wyatt 08 - The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd by John Bodenham 09 - Love Arm'd by Aphra Behn 10 - A Shropshire Lad LIV - With Rue My Heart is Laden by A.E.
