Tomlinson

by Rudyard Kipling
 Now Tomlinson gave up the ghost in his house in Berkeley Square,
And a Spirit came to his bedside and gripped him by the hair --
A Spirit gripped him by the hair and carried him far away,
Till he heard as the roar of a rain-fed ford the roar of the Milky Way:
Till he heard the roar of the Milky Way...Read more of this...

When Stretchd on Ones Bed

by Jane Austen
 When stretch'd on one's bed 
With a fierce-throbbing head, 
Which preculdes alike thought or repose, 
How little one cares 
For the grandest affairs 
That may busy the world as it goes!

How little one feels 
For the waltzes and reels 
Of our Dance-loving friends at a Ball! 
How slight one's concern 
To conjecture or learn 
What their flounces or hearts...Read more of this...

Morning Coffee

by Alec Derwent (A D) Hope

Give her thine, and she...Read more of this...

Robinson Crusoe's Story

by C. E. Carryl
      The night was thick and hazy
      When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
      And I think the water drowned ’em;
      For they never, never found ’em
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.

The Forerunners

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
 The harbingers are come. See, see their mark; 
White is their colour, and behold my head. 
But must they have my brain? must they dispark 
Those sparkling notions, which therein were bred? 
Must dulnesse turn me to a clod? 
Yet have they left me, Thou art still my God. 

Good men ye be, to leave me my best room,...Read more of this...
