FROM THE VAULTS:

Romantic Poets

The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley

We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell Of saddest thought.

Poems Published in 1820, John Keats

Oh, sweet Fancy! let her loose; Every thing is spoilt by use: Where’s the cheek that doth not fade, Too much gaz’d at? Where’s the maid Whose lip mature is ever new?

Letters of John Keats to His Family and Friends

Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?

Don Juan, Lord Byron

Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange; Stranger than fiction: if it could be told, How much would novels gain by the exchange! How differently the world would men behold!

Poems and Songs of Robert Burns

Had we never lov’d sae kindly, Had we never lov’d sae blindly, Never met — or never parted — we had ne’er been broken-hearted

The Complete Poetical Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.

The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth - Volume 3

Stranger! henceforth be warned; and know that pride, Howe’er disguised in its own majesty, Is littleness; that he, who feels contempt For any living thing, hath faculties Which he has never used; that thought with him Is in its infancy…

Songs of Innocence and Experience, William Blake

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair.

Recollections of the Last Days of Shelley and Byron, Edward John Trelawny

Any details of the lives of men whose opinions have had a marked influence upon mankind, or from whose works we have derived pleasure or profit, cannot but be interesting. This conviction induces me to record some facts regarding Shelley and Byron, two of the last of the true Poets.

hey so i made a massive database of 900 (and counting) sapphic books, sortable by age, genre and rep! take a look if u feel so inclined (and maybe retweet my tweet?). there’s a submissions page if u catch any i’ve missed (or any incorrect info on them), but pls do check i’ve not just sorted it in a way you don’t expect!
