Recitation of LYRE 48 by Tomás António Gonzaga (Porto, Portugal, 1744-1810. Moçambique)
About the author:
Tomás António Gonzaga (Miragaia, Porto, August 11, 1744 — Ilha de Moçambique, 1810), whose arcadian name is Dirceu, was a jurist, poet and political activist who participated in the Inconfidência Mineira, a movement for the independence of Minas Gerais, a forerunner of the process which led to the separation of Brazil from Portugal.[1] Considered the most prominent of Arcadian poets, he is still studied in schools and universities for his "Marília de Dirceu".
He was born in Miragaia, a parish in the Portuguese city of Porto, in a building which today is duly marked. He was the son of a Portuguese mother (of English descent, Tomásia Isabel Clarque) and a Brazilian father, from the Northeast (João Bernardo Gonzaga).[2] Mother's orphan in the first year of life, he moved with his father, a Brazilian magistrate, to Pernambuco in 1751 and later to Bahia, where he studied at the Colégio dos Jesuítas.[1] In 1761, he returned to Portugal to study Law at the University of Coimbra, becoming a Bachelor of Laws in 1768. With the intention of teaching at that university, he wrote the thesis Treaty of Natural Law, in which he focused on the subject from the Thomistic point of view, but later he exchanged pretensions to higher teaching for the magistracy.[2] He held the position of judge from outside in the city of Beja, in Portugal. When he returned to Brazil, in 1782, he was appointed Ombudsman for the Dead and Absent of the district of Vila Rica, headquartered in the current city of Ouro Preto, then he met the teenager, only sixteen years old, Maria Doroteia Joaquina de Seixas Brandão, the pastor Marília in one of the possible interpretations of his poems, which would have been immortalized in his lyrical work (Marília de Dirceu) - although this version is very debatable, in view of the rhetorical-poetic rules that prevailed in the 18th century, a time when the poems were written.
During his stay in Minas Gerais, he wrote Cartas Chilenas, a satirical poem in the form of epistles, a violent criticism of the colonial government. Promoted to judge of the relationship of Bahia in 1786, he decides to ask Maria Doroteia to marry him two years later. The wedding is scheduled for the end of May 1789.[2] As he was less wealthy than her and was a civil servant, therefore he could be transferred to the capital, Salvador, he suffered great opposition from Maria Dorotéia's parents.
For his role in the Inconfidência Mineira or Conjuração Mineira (first pro-independence revolt in Minas Gerais), working alongside other characters in that revolt such as: Cláudio Manuel da Costa, Silva Alvarenga and Alvarenga Peixoto, he was accused of conspiracy and arrested in 1789, serving his sentence of three years in the Fortaleza da Ilha das Cobras, in Rio de Janeiro, having his assets confiscated. He was therefore separated from his beloved, Maria Doroteia. He remained in seclusion for three years, during which he would have written most of the lyres attributed to him, as there are no signature records on any of his poetry. In 1792, his sentence was commuted to exile, at the personal request of D. Maria I, and the poet was sent to the east coast of Africa, in order to serve his ten-year sentence in Mozambique.
In the same year, the first part of Marília de Dirceu is released in Lisbon, with 33 liras (it is noted that there was no participation, therefore, by the poet in the edition of this set of liras, and until today it is not known who would have done it, probably brothers of Freemasonry). In the African country, he worked as a lawyer and stayed at the home of a wealthy slave trader, eventually marrying his daughter, Juliana de Sousa Mascarenhas ("a person of many gifts and few letters"), with whom he had two children. : Ana Mascarenhas Gonzaga and Alexandre Mascarenhas Gonzaga, living after that for fifteen years, rich and considered, until they died in 1810. In 1799, the second part of Marília de Dirceu is published, with another 65 liras. While exiled, he held the positions of prosecutor of the Crown and Treasury, and judge of the Customs of Mozambique (a position he held when he died). Gonzaga was much admired by Romanticism/Romantic poets such as Casimiro de Abreu and Castro Alves. He is patron of chair 37 of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.[2]
His main works are: Treaty of Natural Law; Marília de Dirceu (collection of lyric poems, published in three parts, in 1792, 1799 and 1812 - today it is known that the third part was not written by the poet); Chilean Letters (printed together in 1863). His death date is not certain, but it is known that he died between 1809 and 1810. He is one of the best writers of his time.

Tomás António Gonzaga (Miragaia, Porto, 11 de agosto de 1744 — Ilha de Moçambique, 1810), cujo nome arcádico é Dirceu, foi um jurista, poeta e ativista político participante da Inconfidência Mineira, movimento pela independência de Minas Gerais, precursor do processo que conduziu à separação do Brasil de Portugal.[1] Considerado o mais proeminente dos poetas árcades, é ainda hoje estudado em escolas e universidades por seu "Marília de Dirceu".
Nasceu em Miragaia, freguesia da cidade portuguesa do Porto, em prédio em nossos dias devidamente assinalado. Era filho de mãe portuguesa (de ascendência inglesa, Tomásia Isabel Clarque) e pai brasileiro, nordestino (João Bernardo Gonzaga).[2] Órfão de mãe no primeiro ano de vida, mudou-se com o pai, magistrado brasileiro, para Pernambuco em 1751 e depois para a Bahia, onde estudou no Colégio dos Jesuítas.[1] Em 1761, voltou a Portugal para cursar Direito na Universidade de Coimbra, tornando-se bacharel em Leis em 1768. Com intenção de lecionar naquela universidade, escreveu a tese Tratado de Direito Natural, no qual enfocava o tema sob o ponto de vista tomista, mas depois trocou as pretensões ao magistério superior pela magistratura.[2] Exerceu o cargo de juiz de fora na cidade de Beja, em Portugal. Quando voltou ao Brasil, em 1782, foi nomeado Ouvidor dos Defuntos e Ausentes da comarca de Vila Rica, sediada na atual cidade de Ouro Preto, então conheceu a adolescente, de apenas dezesseis anos, Maria Doroteia Joaquina de Seixas Brandão, a pastora Marília em uma das possíveis interpretações de seus poemas, que teria sido imortalizada em sua obra lírica (Marília de Dirceu) - apesar de ser muito discutível essa versão, tendo em vista as regras retórico-poéticas que prevaleciam no século XVIII, época em que os poemas foram escritos.
Durante sua permanência em Minas Gerais, escreveu Cartas Chilenas, poema satírico em forma de epístolas, uma violenta crítica ao governo colonial. Promovido a desembargador da relação da Bahia em 1786, resolve pedir em casamento Maria Doroteia dois anos depois. O casamento é marcado para o final do mês de maio de 1789.[2] Como era menos rico que ela e era funcionário público, portanto poderia ser transferido para a capital, Salvador, sofreu grande oposição por parte dos pais de Maria Dorotéia.
Por seu papel na Inconfidência Mineira ou Conjuração Mineira (primeira revolta pró-independência de Minas Gerais), trabalhando junto de outros personagens dessa revolta como: Cláudio Manuel da Costa, Silva Alvarenga e Alvarenga Peixoto, é acusado de conspiração e preso em 1789, cumprindo sua pena de três anos na Fortaleza da Ilha das Cobras, no Rio de Janeiro, tendo seus bens confiscados. Foi, portanto, separado de sua amada, Maria Doroteia. Permaneceu em reclusão por três anos, durante os quais, teria escrito a maior parte das liras atribuídas a ele, pois não há registros de assinatura em qualquer uma de suas poesias. Em 1792, sua pena é comutada em degredo, a pedido pessoal de D. Maria I e o poeta é enviado a costa oriental da África, a fim de cumprir, em Moçambique, a sentença de dez anos.
No mesmo ano é lançada em Lisboa a primeira parte de Marília de Dirceu, com 33 liras (nota-se que não houve participação, portanto, do poeta na edição desse conjunto de liras, e até hoje não se sabe quem teria feito, provavelmente irmãos de maçonaria). No país africano trabalha como advogado e hospeda-se em casa de abastado comerciante de escravos, vindo a se casar em 1793 com a filha dele, Juliana de Sousa Mascarenhas ("pessoa de muitos dotes e poucas letras"), com quem teve dois filhos: Ana Mascarenhas Gonzaga e Alexandre Mascarenhas Gonzaga, vivendo depois disso, durante quinze anos, rico e considerado, até morrer em 1810. Em 1799, é publicada a segunda parte de Marília de Dirceu, com mais 65 liras. No desterro, ocupou os cargos de procurador da Coroa e Fazenda, e o de juiz de Alfândega de Moçambique (cargo que exercia quando morreu). Gonzaga foi muito admirado por poetas Romantismo/românticos como Casimiro de Abreu e Castro Alves. É patrono da cadeira 37 da Academia Brasileira de Letras.[2]
Suas principais obras são: Tratado de Direito Natural; Marília de Dirceu (coleção de poesias líricas, publicadas em três partes, em 1792, 1799 e 1812 - hoje sabe-se que a terceira parte não foi escrita pelo poeta); Cartas Chilenas (impressas em conjunto em 1863). A data de sua morte não é uma data certa, mas sabe-se que ele veio a falecer entre 1809 e 1810. É um dos melhores escritores de sua época.

Recitation of CONFESSIONS by Robert Browning (London, England, 1812-1889, Venice, Italy)
About the author (Sobre o autor):
Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose dramatic monologues set him high among Victorian poets. His verse was noted for irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. His career started well - the long poems Pauline (1833) and Paracelsus (1835) were acclaimed - but his reputation dwindled for a time - his 1840 poem Sordello was seen as willfully obscure - and it took him over a decade to recover, when so he had switched from Shelleyan ways to a more personal style. In 1846 Browning married the elder poet Elizabeth Barrett and went to live in Italy. When she died in 1861, he published the collection Men and Women (1855). His Dramatis Personae (1864) and epic book poem The Ring and the Book (1868-1869) made him an important British poet. He continued to be prolific, but his reputation today rests primarily on his middle period. By his death in 1889, he was seen as a sage and poet-philosopher who fueled Victorian political and social discourse. Societies to study his work formed during his lifetime and survived in Britain and the United States well into the 20th century.

Em 1846, Browning casou-se com a poetisa mais velha Elizabeth Barrett e foi morar na Itália. Quando ela morreu em 1861, ele publicou a coleção Homens e Mulheres (1855). Seu Dramatis Personae (1864) e o poema épico em formato de livro The Ring and the Book (1868-1869) fizeram dele um importante poeta britânico. Ele continuou a ser prolífico, mas sua reputação hoje se baseia principalmente em seu período intermediário. Por sua morte em 1889, ele era visto como um sábio e poeta-filósofo que alimentou o discurso político e social vitoriano. Sociedades para estudar seu trabalho se formaram durante sua vida e sobreviveram na Grã-Bretanha e nos Estados Unidos até o século XX.

Recitation of BABY'S WAY by R. Tagore (Kalkota, India, 1861-1941)
About the author:
Rabindranath Tagore (Bengali: রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর; 7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), nicknamed Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath. As a poet, novelist, musician and playwright, he reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the author of Gitânjali, which in Portuguese was called "Oferenda Lírica"[1] and his "deeply sensitive, fresh and beautiful verses",[2] being the first non-European to win, in 1913, the Nobel Prize for Literature.[ 3] Tagore's poetic songs were seen as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal.[4] He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".[5] Tagore was perhaps the most important literary figure in Bengali literature. He was an outstanding representative of Hindu culture, whose influence and international popularity could perhaps only be compared with that of Gandhi, whom Tagore called 'Mahatma' due to his deep admiration for him.
A Pirali Brahmin[6][7][8][9] from Calcutta, Tagore was already writing poems at the age of eight.[10] At the age of sixteen, he published his first substantial poetry under the pseudonym Bhanushingho ("Lion of the Sun")[11][12] and wrote his first short stories and dramas in 1877. As a humanist, universalist, internationalist and ardent anti-nationalist ,[13] denounced the British Raj and advocated its independence from Great Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that included paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts and some two thousand songs; his legacy also lives on in the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.[14][15]
Tagore modernized Bengali art by despising rigid classical forms. His novels, stories, songs, dramatic dances, and essays dealt with political and personal themes. Gitanjali (Music Offers), Gora (Fair Encounter) and Ghare-Baire (The House and the World) are his best known works. His verses, short stories and novels were acclaimed for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism and contemplation. Tagore was perhaps the only literate who wrote anthems for two countries, Bangladesh and India: Bangladeshi National Anthem and Jana Gana Mana. Sri Lanka's national anthem was inspired by his work.
Poetry
Internationally, Gitanjali (Bengali: গীতাঞ্জলি) is Tagore's best-known poetry collection, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1913. Tagore was the second non-European, after Theodore Roosevelt, to receive a Nobel Prize.
In addition to Gitanjali, other notable works include Manasi, Sonar Tori ("Golden Boat"), Balaka ("Wild Geese" - the title is a metaphor for migratory souls)[68]
Tagore's poetic style, which comes from a lineage established by Vaishnava poets of the 15th and 16th centuries, ranges from classical formalism to the comic, visionary and ecstatic. He was influenced by the atavistic mysticism of Vyasa and other rishi authors of the Upanishads, the bhakti-sufi mystic Kabir and Ramprasad Sen.[69] Tagore's more innovative and mature poetry embodies his exposure to rural Bengali folk music, which included mystical Baul ballads like those of the bard Lalon.[70][71] These, rediscovered and repopularized by Tagore, resemble 19th-century Kartābhajā hymns, which emphasize inner divinity and rebellion against bourgeois bhadralok religious and social orthodoxy.[72][73] During his Shelaidaha years, his poems took on a lyrical voice from the moner manush, from the "man within the heart" of the Bāuls, and from Tagore's "life force from his deep recesses", or meditating on the jeevan devata - the demiurge or the "God I live inside".[74] This figure is linked to divinity through the appeal to nature and the emotional interplay of human drama. Such tools saw use in his Bhānusiṃha poems narrating the Radha-Krishna romance, which were repeatedly revised over seventy years.[75][76]

THE LAST NUMBER by Augusto dos Anjos (Sapé, PB, Brazil, 1884-1914, Leopoldina, MG, Brazil)
About the author:
Augusto de Carvalho Rodrigues dos Anjos was a Brazilian poet, often identified as Symbolist or Parnassian. However, many critics, such as the poet Ferreira Gullar, prefer to identify him as a pre-modernist, as we find clearly expressionist characteristics in his poems.
He is known as one of the most critical poets of his time, focusing his criticisms on the egocentric idealism that was emerging in his time, and to this day his work is admired by laymen and literary critics alike.
He is the patron of chair number 1 of the Academia Paraibana de Letras (APL), which was founded by the jurist and essayist José Flósculo da Nóbrega and whose first occupant was his biographer Humberto Nóbrega, currently occupied by José Nêumanne Pinto. Augusto dos Anjos is also the patron of the Leopoldinense Academy of Letters and Arts.[3]
Biography
Augusto dos Anjos was born in Engenho Pau d'Arco, currently in the municipality of Sapé, State of Paraíba. He was educated in the first letters by his father and studied at Liceu Paraibano, where he would become a teacher in 1908. An early Brazilian poet, he composed his first verses at the age of seven.
In 1903, he entered the Law course at the Recife Faculty of Law, graduating in 1907. In 1910 he married Ester Fialho. His contact with reading would greatly influence the construction of his poetic dialectic and worldview.
With the work of Herbert Spencer, he would have learned the inability to know the essence of things and understood the evolution of nature and humanity. From Ernst Haeckel, he would have absorbed the concept of monera as the principle of life, and that death and life are a pure chemical fact. Arthur Schopenhauer would have inspired him to realize that the annihilation of self-will would be the only way out for human beings. And the Bible, which he also did not dispute its spiritual essence, using it to oppose, in a poetically aggressive way, the remaining thoughts, mainly the Enlightenment / materialist ideals that, deifying themselves, emerged in his time.
This philosophy, outside the European context in which he was born, for Augusto dos Anjos would be the demonstration of the reality he saw around him, with the crisis of a pre-materialist mode of production, bankrupt landowners and ex-slaves in poverty. The world would be represented by him, then, as full of this tragedy, each being experiencing it in birth and death. Augusto denies religion as something that can explain the world, his poetry is composed of many ironies against Christianity and religion in general, although in his hometown, Engenho do Pau D'Arco, the writer conducted mediumistic meetings and psychographed .
He dedicated himself to teaching, moving to Rio de Janeiro, [when?] where he was a teacher in several teaching establishments. He died on November 12, 1914, at 4 am, aged 30, in Leopoldina, Minas Gerais, where he was director of a school group. His cause of death was pneumonia. In the house where he lived during the last months of his life, the Espaço dos Anjos Museum now operates.
During his lifetime, he published several poems in periodicals, the first, Saudade, in 1900. In 1912, he published his unique book of poems, Eu, containing 56 poems. After his death, his friend Órris Soares would organize an edition called Eu (complete poems), including the original core plus 46 poems that the poet left in manuscripts or that were published only in periodicals.

Recitation of A BALLAD OF GENTLENESS by Geoffrey Chaucer (London, UK, 1343-1400)
Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) was an English writer, philosopher and diplomat. Author of “The Canterbury Tales”, the first great classic of world literature composed in English.
He was born in London, England, around 1343. The son of wealthy wine merchant John Chaucer and Agnes Copton. He had an excellent education, he was a page to a nobleman at the court of King Edward III. He became a renowned French, Latin and Italian translator.
In 1359, Chaucer joined the king's army during the Hundred Years' War. Falling prisoner of the French, the king paid his ransom in 1360. In 1366, Chaucer married the lady-in-waiting of Philippa of Hainaut, wife of Edward III.
From 1367, Chaucer received a lifetime pension from the king and began a series of diplomatic missions abroad.
During his trips to Italy, he came into contact with the works of Dante, Boccaccio and Petrarch, who exerted a great influence on his works.
In 1374 Chaucer was appointed inspector of customs for wool, fur and leather in the port of London, a position he held for 12 years. Around this time he wrote “Anelida et Arcite” (1379), “Parlement de Foules” (1382) and “Troilus e Criseyde” (1385). In 1386, taking up residence in Kent, he was elected a Justice of the Peace and Member of Parliament.
Geoffrey Chaucer's period of maturity came with the writing of the tales that began in 1387, which would form the work “The Canterbury Tales”, written until his death. Considered a cultural milestone, the tales bring together twenty-nine archetypes of medieval English society, presented with a sense of humor. The tales are filled with classic quotations, colorful passages and moral teachings relating to the life and customs of English society in the 14th century. Written in English, it has become a classic of world literature.
Until his death, Chaucer remained clerk to the Palace of Westminster. He lived in a residence in the garden of the Chapel of Our Lady of Westminster Abbey. He is considered the father of English literature.

Recitation of STANZAS FOR MUSIC by Lord Byron (London,UK, 1788-1824, Missolonghi, Greek),
Some information about the author:
George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron FRS (22 January 1788, London – 19 April 1824, Missolonghi), known as Lord Byron, was a British poet and one of the most influential figures in Romanticism. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan, The Pilgrimage of Childe Harold, and the short lyric poem She Walks in Beauty.
Byron is considered one of Britain's greatest poets,[1] and remains widely read and influential. He traveled all over Europe, especially Italy, where he lived for seven years. Late in his life, Byron joined the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, which is why many Greeks revere him as a national hero.[2] He died at the age of thirty-six of a fever contracted at Missolonghi. Often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the greatest Romantic poets, Byron was both celebrated and criticized in his lifetime for aristocratic excesses, including high debts, numerous affairs with both men and women (such as, for example, writer Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont), as well as rumors of a scandalous relationship with his half-sister, self-exile[3] and bisexuality.[4]
The Monks' Influence
The fourth Lord Byron, who lived in the 17th century, had two sons who would forever mark the negative influences of the monks on the family: The eldest, fifth Lord Byron, had his destiny marked by the murder he committed. He was in a tavern, talking about hunting, when he got into an ignoble argument with Chaworth, who had mocked the fifth lord for his hunting disadvantages.
Both clashed, and Chaworth was torn apart by Byron's sword. The disgraced fifth Lord Byron was tried and acquitted. However, he carried with him the eternal weight of being seen as a murderer. Maybe that's why he developed a strange behavior during his life, the same behavior that qualified him with the nickname "evil lord".
During the night he opened the dams on the rivers to destroy the spinning mills; he emptied the neighbors' ponds; he had two small stone forts built on the shore of his lake, and kept a fleet of toy boats, which he floated on the lake; he organized on his own body races of crickets that, according to his servants, obeyed him.
His brother (byron the poet's grandfather) could not escape such a fate. “Jack Mau-Tempo”, as he was called, was an unlucky admiral who died as a vice-admiral in 1786. His nickname was not an occasional one. It was said that every time Byron prepared the boat and positioned himself on top of it, a fierce storm arose. “Jack Mau-Tempo” had two sons: the eldest, John, father of the poet Byron, was a soldier. The second, Georges Anson, sailor.
George Gordon Byron: the poet begins to discover the world
Lord Byron
George Gordon Byron grew up thanks to the costly sacrifice of his long-suffering mother. Alone, Catherine struggled to raise little Byron. She always looked for the best references for Byron to be someone better than his father. However, it was not just virtues that Catherine reveled in: Constantly, she was assailed by a feeling of anger and unhappiness, which she took out on her son by hitting him. In addition to his mother, little Byron had the unknown wrath of his housekeeper, whose name was May Gray.
Under the roof of an unstable upbringing, Byron still carried a small illness that would mark him with a strong vehemence: he had a defect in one of his legs, he was lame. Such a defect was a huge obstacle in the development of the boy, who felt ashamed in front of others. The exhausting treatment also irritated him a lot.
However, the anathemas destined for that Byron would not have as much effect as thought. The boy had peculiar characteristics that made him stand out. He fell in love with literature at the first contact – still very young – with the story of Cain and Abel told by a history teacher at his school. In addition, he won friends at school in a very surprising way, I quote: Once, a boy - Byron's first friend - was beaten by a grown man tyrant. Byron, with a trembling voice and eyes full of tears, asked the author how many punches he intended to give his friend. Surprised, the boy asked the reason for this "stupid" question. Byron, said, "If you don't mind, I'd like half."
Death
Lord Byron died while fighting in the Greek War of Independence in 1824 from fevers contracted on the battlefield. He is buried at St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire in England.[16]

Recitation of VOW by Narcisa Amália (São João da Barra, RJ, 1852-1924, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil)
A little bit about the woman author:
Texts and recitations of poems written by themselves or by others. In different languages, originals and translations. In addition, comments about poets from different parts of the world.
Um pouco da autora (A little bit about the author):
THE BOOK "NEBULAS"
(The book "Nebulas" was written by Narcissa when she was 20 years old. In the book, the “young and beautiful poet”, as defined by Machado de Assis, declaims poems of exaltation to nature, the country and memories of her childhood.
The book was published by the most famous Brazilian publisher at the time, Garnier, who sponsored all printing expenses. The publisher gave relevance to the book, according to Maria de Lourdes Eleutério, due to the unusual fact at the time of a woman publishing a book. As Maria de Lourdes Eleutério reports "for women in the Republic the dream of publishing a book was a distant project, female expression in this period remains limited to the private space" [8].
In 1873, Narcissa received the “golden lira” award for this work. In September 1874, Narcisa received the award from the Academic Youth of Rio de Janeiro, a golden feather handed over by the counselor Saldanha Marinho [3].
Synopsis
“Courageous, erudite, sensitive to humanitarian issues and linked to the female universe, Narcisa Amália wrote a single book, Nebulas. At the time of its publication, in 1872, by the mythical publisher Garnier, this work caused his talent to be celebrated by none other than Machado de Assis and also by the emperor D. Pedro II. In this co-edition of Gradiva Editorial with the Fundação Biblioteca Nacional, the 44 original poems are gathered. Some lyrics, with intimate, feminine themes, and related to nature, others of a social nature, in favor of the abolition of slavery.)

RECITATION IN MARCH (EM MARÇO) by Archild Lampman (Morpeth, Canada, 1861-1899, Ottawa, Canada)
Um pouco sobre o autor:
Archibald Lampman FRSC (17 de novembro de 1861 - 10 de fevereiro de 1899) foi um poeta canadense. “Ele foi descrito como 'o Keats canadense'; e ele é talvez o expoente mais notável da escola canadense de poetas da natureza. "[1] A Canadian Encyclopedia diz que ele é" geralmente considerado o melhor dos poetas canadenses do final do século 19 em inglês. "[2]
Lampman é classificado como um dos Poetas da Confederação do Canadá, um grupo que também inclui Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman e Duncan Campbell Scott. [3]
Escrita
Em maio de 1881, quando Lampman estava no Trinity College, alguém lhe emprestou uma cópia do primeiro livro recentemente publicado de Charles G. D. Roberts, Orion and Other Poems. O efeito no aluno de 19 anos foi imediato e profundo:
Passei a maior parte da noite lendo e relendo "Órion" em um estado de extrema excitação e quando fui para a cama não consegui dormir. Pareceu-me uma coisa maravilhosa que esse trabalho pudesse ser feito por um canadense, por um jovem, um de nós. Era como uma voz de algum novo paraíso da arte, nos chamando para estarmos prontos e fazendo. Um pouco depois do nascer do sol, levantei-me e saí para o terreno da faculdade ... tudo foi transfigurado para mim indescritivelmente, banhado por um brilho de beleza do velho mundo; a magia das linhas soava em meus ouvidos, aqueles versos divinos, como me pareciam, com sua riqueza de Tennyson e estranho sabor grego amante da terra. Nunca me esqueci daquela manhã, e sua influência sempre permaneceu comigo. [11]
Lampman enviou a Roberts uma carta de fã, que "iniciou uma correspondência entre os dois jovens, mas eles provavelmente não se encontraram até que Roberts se mudou para Toronto no final de setembro de 1883 para se tornar o editor de Goldwin Smith's The Week." [11]
Inspirado, Lampman também começou a escrever poesia, e logo depois começou a publicá-la: primeiro "nas páginas de sua revista da faculdade, Rouge et Noir;" em seguida, "graduando-se para as páginas mais presunçosas de The Week" - (seu soneto "A Monition", mais tarde renomeado "The Coming of Winter", apareceu em sua primeira edição [11]) - e, finalmente, no final dos anos 1880 "ganhando um audiência nas principais revistas da época, como Atlantic Monthly, Harper's e Scribner's. "[2]
Lampman publicou principalmente poesia sobre a natureza no atual estilo romântico tardio. "Os principais antecedentes literários de Lampman estão na obra dos poetas ingleses Keats, Wordsworth e Arnold", diz a Gale Encyclopedia of Biography, "mas ele também trouxe elementos novos e distintamente canadenses para a tradição. Lampman, como outros de sua autoria escola, confiou na paisagem canadense para fornecer-lhe muito das imagens, estímulos e filosofia que caracterizam seu trabalho ... Agudamente observador em seu método, Lampman criou a partir das minúcias da natureza composições cuidadosas de cor, som e movimento sutil. Evocativamente ricos, seus poemas são freqüentemente sustentados por um clima de devaneio e retraimento, enquanto seus temas são os de beleza, sabedoria e segurança, que o poeta descobriu em sua contemplação da mudança das estações e da harmonia do campo. "[12]
A Canadian Encyclopedia chama seus poemas de "em sua maioria meditações melancólicas e compactas sobre objetos naturais, enfatizando a calma da vida no campo em contraste com a inquietação da vida na cidade. Limitados no alcance, eles são, no entanto, notáveis pela precisão descritiva e contenção emocional. Embora caracterizados por um controle habilidoso de ritmo e som, eles tendem a exibir uma mesmice de pensamento. "[13]

Ele foi designado uma pessoa de importância histórica nacional em 1920. [15]
Um prêmio literário, o Prêmio Archibald Lampman, é concedido anualmente pela revista de poesia da área de Ottawa, Arc, em homenagem a Lampman. [16]

RECITATION OF THE LAMB (O CORDEIRO) by William Blake (London, England, 1757-1827)
Pouco do autor:
William Blake (Londres, 28 de novembro de 1757 — Londres, 12 de agosto de 1827) foi um poeta, tipógrafo e pintor inglês, sendo sua pintura definida como pintura fantástica.
Blake viveu num período significativo da história, marcado pelo iluminismo e pela Revolução Industrial na Inglaterra. A literatura estava no auge do que se pode chamar de clássico "augustano", uma espécie de paraíso para os conformados às convenções sociais, mas não para Blake que, nesse sentido era romântico, "enxergava o que muitos se negavam a ver: a pobreza, a injustiça social, a negatividade do poder da Igreja Anglicana e do estado".[1]
Blake escreveu e ilustrou mais de vinte livros, incluindo "O livro de Jó" da Bíblia, "A Divina Comédia" de Dante Alighieri - trabalho interrompido pela sua morte - além de títulos de grandes artistas britânicos de sua época. Muitos de seus trabalhos foram marcados pelos seus fortes ideais libertários, principalmente nos poemas do livro Songs of Innocence and of Experience ("Canções da Inocência e da Experiência"), onde ele apontava a igreja e a alta sociedade como exploradores dos fracos.
No primeiro volume de poemas, Canções da inocência (1789), aparecem traços de misticismo. Cinco anos depois, Blake retoma o tema com Canções da experiência estabelecendo uma relação dialética com o volume anterior, acentuando a malignidade da sociedade. Inicialmente publicados em separado, os dois volumes são depois impressos em Canções da inocência e da experiência - Revelando os dois estados opostos da alma humana.
William Blake expressa sua recusa ao autoritarismo em Não há religião natural e Todas as religiões são uma só, textos em prosa publicados em 1788. Em 1790, publicou sua prosa mais conhecida, O matrimônio do céu e do inferno, em que formula uma posição religiosa e política revolucionária na época: "a negação da realidade da matéria, da punição eterna e da autoridade"
Apesar de seu talento, o trabalho de gravador era muito concorrido em sua época, e os livros de Blake eram considerados estranhos pela maioria. Devido a isto, Blake nunca alcançou fama significativa, vivendo muito próximo à pobreza.

THE LADY YES (O SIM DA DAMA) by Elizabeth Browing
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (nascida Moulton-Barrett; / ˈbraʊnɪŋ /; 6 de março de 1806 - 29 de junho de 1861) foi uma poetisa inglesa da era vitoriana, popular na Grã-Bretanha e nos Estados Unidos durante sua vida.
Nascida no condado de Durham, a mais velha de 11 filhos, Elizabeth Barrett escrevia poesia desde os onze anos. A coleção de poemas de sua mãe constitui uma das maiores coleções existentes de juvenilia de qualquer escritor inglês. Aos 15 anos ela adoeceu, sofrendo intensas dores na cabeça e na coluna pelo resto da vida. Mais tarde, ela também desenvolveu problemas pulmonares, possivelmente tuberculose. Ela tomou láudano para a dor desde tenra idade, o que provavelmente contribuiu para sua saúde frágil.
Na década de 1840, Elizabeth foi apresentada à sociedade literária por meio de seu primo, John Kenyon. Sua primeira coleção de poemas para adultos foi publicada em 1838 e ela escreveu prolificamente entre 1841 e 1844, produzindo poesia, tradução e prosa. Ela fez campanha pela abolição da escravatura e seu trabalho ajudou a influenciar a reforma da legislação sobre o trabalho infantil. Sua produção prolífica a tornou uma rival de Tennyson como candidata a poetisa laureada pela morte de Wordsworth.
O volume Poemas de Elizabeth (1844) trouxe seu grande sucesso, atraindo a admiração do escritor Robert Browning. A correspondência, o namoro e o casamento eram feitos em segredo, por medo da desaprovação do pai. Após o casamento, ela foi realmente deserdada pelo pai. Em 1846, o casal mudou-se para a Itália, onde ela moraria pelo resto da vida. Eles tiveram um filho, conhecido como "Pen" (Robert Wiedeman Barrett Browning) (1849–1912). Pen se dedicou à pintura até que sua visão começou a falhar mais tarde na vida; ele também construiu uma grande coleção de manuscritos e memorabilia de seus pais, no entanto, como ele morreu sem testamento, foi vendida em leilão público a vários licitantes e espalhada após sua morte. A Armstrong Browning Library tentou recuperar parte de sua coleção e agora abriga a maior coleção do mundo de memorabilia de Browning. [3] Elizabeth morreu em Florença em 1861. [4] [5] Uma coleção de seus últimos poemas foi publicada por seu marido logo após sua morte.
O trabalho de Elizabeth teve uma grande influência em escritores proeminentes da época, incluindo os poetas americanos Edgar Allan Poe e Emily Dickinson. Ela é lembrada por poemas como "Como eu te amo?" (Soneto 43, 1845) e Aurora Leigh (1856).
