Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
I would not dare to encapsulate my thoughts on Jane Eyre or any other creation of Charlotte Brontë, since I neither have the adequate education nor the expertise to do so, however, I shall simply ruminate upon the richness of her language in this […]
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle […]
Among the Rocks By Robert Browning

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams […]
