My favourite 2 from this collection are:
Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~ How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Just has the beautiful flow of expression of love.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson ~ COME into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, Night, has flown,
I’m a sucker for Tennyson since the day I read Agatha Christies ‘The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side” which has the following quote in the novel from the poem ‘The Lady of Shalott’,
“Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack’d from side to side;
‘The curse is come upon me,’ cried
The Lady of Shalott.”
I just find the imagery of his words, creates the pictures he is trying to convey into my mind.
All the poems are beautifully recited by the actor Richard Armitage.
A beautiful flow of expression of love.
