Story
Published at the author’s own expense in 1896, after rejection from publishers, this collection contains a cycle of 63 poems. Despite exploring themes of lost love, obsession, pessimism, and death, the poems touched English readers and the book became a best seller during the Second Boer War and World War I. The collection, set in a half-imagined pastoral Shropshire, includes the well-known poems "When I Was One-and-Twenty", "To an Athlete Dying Young", and "Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now".

Story
This collection of Japanese poetry was compiled and translated into English from an anthology known as The Collection of Myriad Leaves, and from a number of other anthologies made by imperial decree between the tenth and fifteenth centuries. This period has come to be considered the golden age of Japanese literature. These examples of Japanese poetry exhibit the most exquisite polish, allied with an avoidance of every shocking or perturbing theme; they combine the enduring luster of a precious metal with the tenuity of gold-leaf.

Story
Paradiso gives our imagination a hint of the beauty to come, by uncovering the deepest reality of the life we are living now. God is the same, eternity past to eternity future; He is the same God today. The great crescendo that is His beauty, dance, song, joy, holiness, and glory we hear but dimly, as from a distance land; but it undergirds and gives meaning to everything we know and experience.

Story
La Vita nuova viene considerata la prima opera certa di Dante (1292-93), è composta di rime (25 sonetti, 4 canzoni, 1 ballata, 1 stanza di canzone) e di capitoli in prosa poetica, cui è affidata la duplice funzione di svolgere l’itinerario autobiografico da cui nascono i versi e di commentarli retoricamente. Al centro della vicenda è l’esperienza d’amore idealizzata del poeta per Beatrice, dai primi incontri con lei si snoda l’intimo memoriale, dapprima profano e “cortese”, poi sempre più agiografico.

Le notaire procéda solennellement à la lecture du contrat. Quand tous eurent signé, on déboucha les bouteilles et on but, abondamment, à la gloire de Madeleine et à la prospérité de la nouvelle troupe. "Nous la nommons l'Illustre Théâtre", dit Beys, lyrique. "À l'heureux destin de l'Illustre Théâtre !", reprit-on en trinquant une fois de plus. Madeleine et Jean-Baptiste choquaient leur verre avec une secrète solennité : ce contrat, c'était un peu leurs épousailles.

Story
"Les fleurs du mal", in english "The Flowers of Evil", is a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. The poems deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism. The author and the publisher were prosecuted in France under the regime of the Second Empire as an "outrage aux bonnes mœurs" ("an insult to public decency"). Because of this prosecution, Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Victor Hugo announced that Baudelaire had created "un nouveau frisson" (a new shudder, a new thrill) in literature.
