Oeh oeh, I always liked:
'Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms
Alone and palely loitering
The sedge has withered rom the lake
And no birds sing'
and (from the same poem)
'I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful—a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.'
(La belle dame sans merci - Keats http://www.bartleby.com/126/55.html)
And (about an poisonous apple growing on a tree of hatred)
'And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
(A poison tree - William Blake http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/35)
And I always liked 'To His Coy Mistress, which tells us all about how he terribly wants to f*ck a girl
I don't know how to link so to read that poem, see here: http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/marvell/coy.htm
Ghehe, anyway, there's a lot of poetry I really like, but it's quite hard to just choose a few lines from one, since you usually need the whole poem to make it 'work' right. Maybe I'm a little overexcited on this topic anyway...
Oh well, at least this is a start, right?
