My Attempts at Creativity
Here are a couple of my poems. I'll put up a few of my drawings if/when I get them scanned. Take my link below to my favorite poems of famous authors/poets.
exerpt from Dante's "The Inferno"
- "Love, which in gentlest hearts will soonest bloom
- seized my lover with passion for that sweet body
- from which I was torn unshriven to my doom.
- Love, which permits no loved one not to love,
- took me so strongly with delight in him
- that we are one in Hell, as we were above.
- Love led us to one death. In the depths of Hell
- Caina waits for him who took our lives."
- This was the piteous tale they stopped to tell.
- And when I had heard those world-offended lovers
- I bowed my head. At last the poet spoke:
- "What painful thoughts are these your lowered brow covers?"
- When at length I answered, I began: "Alas!
- What sweetest thoughts, what green and young desire
- led these two lovers to this sorry pass..."
- The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels of pleasure and of pain.
- As for these souls, though they can never soar
- to true perfection, still in the new time
- they will be nearer it than they were before.
