"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore".

The Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) is best known for his epic poem Metamorphoses, a collection of myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome. His works continue to be widely read and admired, and he is regarded as one of the most significant poets of ancient Rome. Ovid’s love poems are both brilliant and evocative. In Amores, the romantic mysteriousness of elegiac love-poetry is exploded by his witty and ironic treatment of the form. Ars Amatoria and Remedia Amoris both lay down the rules for the game of love, which both sexes can play.

Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skillfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) provides a road map to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery, a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

Der Taucher ist eine 1797 vom deutschen Dichter Friedrich Schiller im Balladenjahr verfasste Ballade. Sie beschreibt den Wagemut eines Edelknaben, der sich nach Aufforderung seines Königs in einen Gezeitenstrudel stürzt, um einen vom König hinein geworfenen goldenen Becher wieder zu holen. Es gelingt, und er berichtet davon (Es freue sich, wer da atmet im rosichten Licht. / Doch der Mensch versuche die Götter nicht…). Die Hybris des Königs, der es ein zweites Mal sehen will und seine Tochter dafür gebe, steckt auch den Jüngling an, und er versucht es abermals, ohne Wiederkehr.

Der Ring des Polykrates ist eine im Juni 1797 geschriebene Ballade Friedrich Schillers. Sie behandelt das Thema, dass größter Erfolg nur den umso gewisseren tiefen Sturz befürchten lässt. Die Handlung der Geschichte wird auf zwei Tage zusammengedrängt. Zwölf der sechzehn Strophen behandeln ein einzig von Erfolgsmeldungen unterbrochenes, allenfalls mehrstündiges Gespräch des Tyrannen Polykrates von Samos mit seinem Freund, dem auf der reichen Insel Samos zu Besuch weilenden Pharao Amasis.

Poème épique de l’Antiquité, L’Odyssée s’ouvre par l’invocation à la Muse et chante les maux innombrables du divin Ulysse, en proie aux longues épreuves du retour depuis la ville sacrée de Troie. Aux prises avec la faveur et la colère des dieux, il lutte pour sa vie et pour celle de ses compagnons—les imprudents dont l’offense faite aux génisses saintes du Soleil leur ravit le jour du retour.

The origins, history and authorship of Beowulf are shrouded in uncertainty. This heroic epic probably began, as most do, with a wandering troubadour strumming a stringed instrument, sitting before a hearth-fire, and singing the verses to a spellbound audience arrayed before him. Beowulf is a rousing adventure story, filled with intrepid heroes, monsters and fire-breathing dragons, which can be listened to for the sheer enjoyment of the tale.

In den Jahren 1823/24 erschien erstmals Willhelm Müllers Gedichtszyklus "Die Winterreise", die später auch von Franz Schubert vertont wurde. Müllers Werke sind sowohl von heiterer Romantik als auch düsteren, melancholischen Themen geprägt, was sich auch in der Winterreise wiedererkennen lässt. Nach einem Liebeserlebnis begibt sich ein Wanderer ohne Ziel hinaus in die Winternacht. Während der Sänger zu Beginn des Textes noch voller Hoffnung erscheint, wandelt sich die Stimmung im Verlauf und aus dem Reisenden wird ein Irrfahrer, dessen Streben nach Glück nicht erfüllt wird.

Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse.

How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality? Shakespeare wrote sonnets for at least 30 years, not only for himself, for professional reasons, and for those he loved, but also in his plays, as prologues, as epilogues, and as part of their poetic texture.
