This is a page for the English readers. Most of the themes and poems are made by English language people but other things are collected between the collections of some people who are being translated to the English language. It’s normal if you see more classics then recent names…the net is not very rich in recent names and the reason is the copyrighting…but we think we have put on this page interesting themes and poems, even the classics are always “recent”…

Welcome to Sonnet Central, an archive of English sonnets, commentary, and relevant web links and a forum for poets to share and discuss their own work. Sonnets are grouped by period below and can also be accessed quickly via an alphabetical list of authors or the java navigation page. All of the sonnets included here (as well as most of those that are linked) are modernized texts for the general reader and are not presented for purposes of scholarly work.

Mathematical Poetry  ( Poetry, Mathematical)

It is true that a mathematician
who is not also something of a poet
will never be a perfect mathematician.

in Men of Mathematics, E.T.Bell, p.432

Conversely...we say:

It is true that a poet
who is not also something of a mathematician will never be a perfect poet.

Sonnets from the Portuguese
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning  ( Browning, Elisabeth B. )

I. I thought once how Theocritus had sung
II. But only three in all God's universe
III. Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart!
IV. Thou hast thy calling to some palace-floor
V. I lift my heavy heart up solemnly
VI. Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
VII. The face of all the world is changed, I think
VIII. What can I give thee back, O liberal
IX. Can it be right to give what I can give?
X. Yet, love, mere love, is beautiful indeed
XI. And therefore if to love can be desert
XII. Indeed this very love which is my boast
XIII. And wilt thou have me fashion into speech
XIV. If thou must love me, let it be for nought
XV. Accuse me not, beseech thee, that I wear
XVI. And yet, because thou overcomest so
XVII. My poet, thou canst touch on all the notes
XVIII. I never gave a lock of hair away
XIX. The soul's Rialto hath its merchandize
XX. Beloved, my Beloved, when I think
XXI. Say over again, and yet once over again
XXII. When our two souls stand up erect and strong
XXIII. Is it indeed so? If I lay here dead
XXIV. Let the world's sharpness like a clasping knife
XXV. A heavy heart, Beloved, have I borne
XXVI. I lived with visions for my company
XXVII. My own Beloved, who hast lifted me
XXVIII. My letters! all dead paper, mute and white!
XXIX. I think of thee!--my thoughts do twine and bud
XXX. I see thine image through my tears to-night
XXXI. Thou comest! all is said without a word
XXXII. The first time that the sun rose on thine oath
XXXIII. Yes, call me by my pet-name! let me hear
XXXIV. With the same heart, I said, I'll answer thee
XXXV. If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange
XXXVI. When we met first and loved, I did not build
XXXVII. Pardon, oh, pardon, that my soul should make
XXXVIII. First time he kissed me, he but only kissed
XXXIX. Because thou hast the power and own'st the grace
XL. Oh, yes! they love through all this world of ours!
XLI. I thank all who have loved me in their hearts
XLII. My future will not copy fair my past
XLIII. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
XLIV. Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers

Alighieri Dante ( Dante, Alighieri )

Divine Comedy, The
Biography

The greatest Italian poet and one of the most important writers of European literature.
Dante is best known for the epic poem Commedia, c. 1310-14, later named La Divinia
Commedia. It has profoundly affected not only the religious imagination but all
subsequent allegorical creation of imaginary worlds in literature.

Dante was born into a Florentine family of noble ancestry. Little is known about Dante's
childhood exept what he himself have revealed. Dante's mother died when he was a child
and his father died before the future poet reached manhood. He was thoroughly educated
in both classical and Christian literature. At the age of 12 he was promised to his
future wife, although he had already fallen in love with another girl whom he called
Beatrice.

Biography

Russian playwright, one of the great masters of modern short story. In his work Chekhov
combined the dispassionate attitude of a scientist and a doctor with the sensitivity and
psychological understanding of an artist. Chekhov portrayed often life in the Russian
small towns, where tragic events occur in a minor key, as a part of everyday life. His
characters are passive, filled with the feeling of hopelessness and the fruitlessness of
all efforts. "What difference does it make?" says Chebutykin in Three Sisters.

Biography

Russian novelist, journalist, short-story writer whose psychological penetration into
the human soul had a profound influence on the 20th century novel. Dostoevsky novels are
ultimately dialogic. He presented interacting characters with contrasting views or
ideas, any of which may be used as a key to reading the text as whole. Dostoevsky's
central obsession was God, whom his characters constantly search through pain, evil and
humiliations.
