But none the less, while I have time and space,Before my story takes a further paceIt seems a reasonable thing to sayWhat their condition was the full arrayOf each of them, as it appeared to me,According to profession and degreeAnd what apparel they were riding in;And at a Knight I therefore will begin.2. Hamlet, William ShakespeareWhen he himself might his quietus makeWith a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death---The undiscover‟d country, from whose bournNo traveler returns--- puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?3. Romeo and Juliet. William ShakespeareO, speak again, bright angel! For thou artAs glorious to this night, being o‟er my head,As is a winged messenger of heavenUnto the white-upturned wond‟ring eyesOf mortals that fall back to gaze on himWhen he bestrides the lazy-pacing cloudsAnd sails upon the bosom of the air.4. “The Flea”. John DonneOur marriage bed and marriage temple is;Though parents grudge, and you, we are met,And cloistered in these living walls of jet.Though use make you apt to kill me,Let not to that, self-murder added be,And sacrilege, three sings in killing three.5. Paradise Lost, John Milton.All is not lost; the unconquerable will,And study of revenge, immortal hate,And courage never to submit or yield:And what is else not to be overcome?That glory never shall his wrath or mightExtort from me. To bow and sue for graceWith suppliant knee, and deify his power Who from the terror of this arm so late Doubted his empire---that were low indeed;That were an ignominy and shame beneathThis downfall; since by fate the strength of gods6. “The Tiger”, William BlakeIn what distant deeps or skiesBurnt the fire of thine eyes?On what wings dare he aspire?What the hand dare seize the fire?And what shoulder, & what art,Could twist the sinews of thy heart?And when thy heart began to beat,What dread hand? What dread feet?7. “The Sick Rose”, William BlakeThe invisible wormThat flies in the nightIn the howling stormHas found out thy bedOf crimson joy,And his dark secret loveDose thy life destroy.8. “A Red, Red Rose”, Robert BurnsAs fair art thou, my bonie lassSo deep in luve am IAnd I will luve thee still, my dearTill a‟the seas gang dry.9. “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, William Wordsworth For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitudeAnd then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.10. “Kubla Khan”, Samuel Taylor ColeridgeA damsel with a dulcimerIn a vision once I saw:It was an Abyssinian maidAnd on her dulcimer she played,Singing of Mount Abora.Could I revive within meHer symphony and son个，To such a deep delight ‟twould win me,That with music lound and long,I would build that dome in airThat sunny dome! Those caves of ice!11. “She Walks in Beauty”, George Gordon Byron. One shade the more, one ray the lessHad half impair‟d the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tressOr softly lightens o‟er her faceWhere thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure, how dear their dwelling-place.12. “Ode to the West Wind”, Percy Bysshe Shelley Her clarion o‟er the dreaming earth, and fill (Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) With living hues and odours plain and hill:Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!13. “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, John KeatsThou still unravish‟d bride of quietnessThou foster-child of silence and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus expressA flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fring‟d legend haunts about thy shape Of deities or mortals, or of both,In temple or the dales of Arcady?14. “Dover Beach”, Matthew ArnoldThe sea is calm tonight.The tide is full, the moon lies fairUpon the straits; ---on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.…The sea of FaithWas once, too, at the full, and round earth‟s shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.But now I only hearIts melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breathOf the night-wind, down the vast edges drearAnd naked shingles of the world.15. “My Last Duchess”, Robert BrowningWith anybody‟s gift. Who‟d stoop to blameThis sort of trifling? Even had you skillIn speech—(which I have not)--- to make your willQuite clear to such an one, and say, “Jus thisOr that in you disgusts me: here you miss,Or there exceed the mark”--- and if she letHerself be lessoned so, nor plainly setHer wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse,--- E‟en then would be some stooping; and I chooseNever to stoop... .16. The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar WildeWell, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls don‟t think it right.Oh, that is nonsense!It isn‟t. it is a great truth. It accounts for the extraordinary number of bachelors that one sees all over the place. In the second place, I don‟t give my consent.Your consent!My dear fellow, Gwendolen is my first cousin. And before I allow you to marry her, you will have to clear up the whole question of Cecily.17. Pygmalion, Bernard Shaw.I have not your imposing appearance, your chin, your brow. Nobody notices me when I shave. Now I am famous, they call me Hairy Faced Dick.And what are you doing here among all these swells?18. The Waste Land, T. S. EliotApril is the cruelest month, breedingLilacs out of the dead land, mixingMemory and desire, stirringDull roots with spring rain.Winter kept us warm, coveringEarth in forgetful snow, feedingA little life with dried tubers..19.“The Second Coming”, William Butler YeatsSurely some revelation is at hand;…Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.The darkness drops again; but now I knowThat twenty centuries of stony sleepWere vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?20. “Araby”, James JoyceThe former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room.
