Favourite Poems

We Irish are too poetical to be poets; we are a nation of brilliant failures, but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks
~~Oscar Wilde

I love poetry. This is something I have been interested in studying since I found the tv show Beauty and the Beast. In that show it wasn't uncommon to hear one or two poems before the end of an episode. And the poets they used! Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare, and Rilke. Plus dozens of others. So I have decided to include poetry in my little chamber. Please click below to view a favourite poem:

Excerpt from The Decay of Lying--by Oscar Wilde
