The Fairies Break Their Dances
July 5, 2023Now Hollow Fires Burn Out to Black
July 5, 2023O Why Do You Walk (a Parody)
O why do you walk through the fields in boots,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody shoots,
Why do you walk through the fields in boots,
When the grass is soft as the breast of coots
And shivering-sweet to the touch?
A. E. Housman
A. E. Housman (1859-1936) was an English poet and classical scholar who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known for his melancholic and nostalgic poetry, which often explored themes of unrequited love and the passing of time. Some of his most famous works include "A Shropshire Lad", "Last Poems", and "More Poems".
