  Poems for Newlyweds - Love poems...

  Christopher Marlowe

  The meeting, the courtship, the wedding and the honeymoon have all now been completed. 
   
  Having got this far the real journey lays before every married couple seeking the love, stability, support and joys of a long-term relationship.  The state of the newly-weds is now at hand.  The meeting of minds and the living together can become a source of friction or ignition to a deeper understanding.  Physically the very first blush of lust and desire is replaced by an understanding that life and our own biological and emotional clocks, for some, may now require that children be brought into the mix and families raised. 
   
  Yes, that interlude when the bliss of being a newly-wed – announced and seen as such to a wider society – really doesn’t last that long.  Time to savour the days and nights of love’s sweet wonder. 
   
  Our classic poets, of course, have much to say and advise on.  With the storied likes of Christopher Marlowe, Khalil Gibran, Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and even George Orwell then the listener is in wise and knowing hands.

  Spirits in Bondage

  C. S. Lewis

  • 0

  • 0

  Spirits in Bondage is C.S. Lewis’s first book and the first of his works to be available in the public domain.  It was released in 1919 under the pseudonym of Clive Hamilton and was written in a period of darker thought for C.S. Lewis than was later evidenced in his Christian apologist writings. 
  The darkness of the verse is most evident in Part One (The Prison House), begins to change in the short transitional Part Two (Hesitation) and attains a more hopeful tone in the final Part Three (Escape).  Yet a dreamy effect, influenced by Celtic and Druid mythology, persists throughout. 
  Spirits in Bondage consists of forty poems that provide an intriguing insight into the youthful heart of C.S. Lewis and occasionally provides interesting lyrical foreshadowing of some of the landscapes portrayed in his famous Chronicles of Narnia series.(Summary by Robert Garrison)

  Poems for Honeymooners - Love...

  WB Yeats

  Honeymoons are a relatively modern concept in the western world, dating from the 19th Century and have since become a multi-billion dollar industry turning the beginning of wedded bliss into a smorgsboard of ‘must have this’ and ‘must do that’.   
   
  However, celebrating a marriage is something we perhaps all feel should be a more intimate occasion.  After all this part of the journey is possibly unique as well as universal and timeless.  Sex, possibly for the first time, is now an expression of the wedded state, cementing and reframing the relationship as a new couple.   
   
  Within the lines of this volume are perfect poems for those on such a journey, whether it a romantic holiday setting or relaxed at home as our classic poets revel in the sensual, the sexy and above all the love for that very special chosen person in our lives.   Our verse includes those from Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Rossetti, W B Yeats, Khalil Gibran, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and many more.

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of Departerd Days by Oliver Wendell Holmes. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 8, 2011.Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. was an American physician, professor, lecturer, and author. Regarded by his peers as one of the best writers of the 19th century, he is considered a member of the Fireside Poets. His most famous prose works are the "Breakfast-Table" series, which began with The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table (1858). He is recognized as an important medical reformer.1830 proved to be an important year for Holmes as a poet; while disappointed by his law studies, he began writing poetry for his own amusement.[22] Before the end of the year, he had produced over fifty poems, contributing twenty-five of them (all unsigned) to The Collegian, a short-lived publication started by friends from Harvard. Four of these poems would ultimately become among his best-known: "The Dorchester Giant", "Reflections of a Proud Pedestrian", "Evening / By a Tailor" and "The Height of the Ridiculous". Nine more of his poems were published anonymously in the 1830 pamphlet Illustrations of the Athenaeum Gallery of Paintings. (summary from Wikipedia)
