Housman (read 1 Aug 1975) There are not many books of poetry in my list of books read, but as this shows there are some. I felt some of Housman's stuff really impressive, though to me his early work seemed not inferior to his later work. His philosophy is of course repugnant (XLIV and XLV of A Shropshire Lad are commendations of suicide). "The true Lover" is as stark a tale as I have ever read. I am very impressed (I said to my self 30 years ago). 'The True Lover' : : A poem by A.E. Housman :: PoetryConnection.net The lad came to the door at night, When lovers crown their vows, And whistled soft and out of sight In shadow of the boughs. "I shall not vex you with my face Henceforth, my love, for aye; So take me in your arms a space Before the east is grey. ""When I from hence away am past I shall not find a bride, And you shall be the first and last I ever lay beside. "She heard and went and knew not why; Her heart to his she laid; Light was the air beneath the sky But dark under the shade. "Oh do you breathe, lad, that your breast Seems not to rise and fall, And here upon my bosom prest There beats no heart at all? ""Oh loud, my girl, it once would knock, You should have felt it then; But since for you I stopped the clock It never goes again. ""Oh lad, what is it, lad, that drips Wet from your neck on mine? What is it falling on my lips, My lad, that tastes of brine? ""Oh like enough 'tis blood, my dear, For when the knife has slit The throat across from ear to ear 'Twill bleed because of it. "Under the stars the air was light But dark below the boughs, The still air of the speechless night, When lovers crown their vows." nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
