THE REMORSE OF THE DEAD by Charles Baudelaire
O SHADOWY Beauty mine, when thou shalt sleep

And when the stone upon thy trembling breast,
And on thy straight sweet body's supp… [ Read More ]

Death And Dying Remorse
Emily Dickinson
When I was small, a Woman died -- by Emily Dickinson
When I was small, a Woman died --

His face all Victory

To look at her -- How slowly
The Seasons must have turned
Till Bullets clipt an Angle
And He passed quickly round --

If pride shall be … [ Read More ]

For you to take and put upon a shelf.

With some small stock of innocence;
But yet those blessed gates I see
Withstanding entrance unto me;

Mary sat musing on the lamp-flame at the table
Waiting for Warren. When she heard his step,
She ran on tip-toe down the darkened passage
To meet him in the doorway with the news
And put him on his guard. 'Silas is back.'
She pushed him outward with her through the do… [ Read More ]

I Want To Die In My Own Bed by Yehuda Amichai
All night the army came up from Gilgal
To get to the killing field, and that's all.
In the ground, warf and woof, lay the dead.

Like slits in a tank, their eyes were uncanny,
I'm always the few and they are the many.
I must answer. T… [ Read More ]

Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying,

I Don't Know If You're Alive Or Dead by Anna Akhmatova
I don't know if you're alive or dead.
Can you on earth be sought,
Or only when the sunsets fade

The sleepless heat at night,
And of my verses, the white
Flock, and of my eyes, the bl… [ Read More ]
