„Thoughts in a Garden” de Andrew Marvell
How vainly men themselves amaze To win the palm, the oak, or bays, And their uncessant labours see Crown'd from some single herb or tree, Whose short and narrow-vergèd shade Does prudently their toils upbraid; While all the …
„The True Beauty” de Thomas Carew
He that loves a rosy cheek Or a coral lip admires, Or from star-like eyes doth seek Fuel to maintain his fires; As old Time makes these decay, So his flames must waste away. Chip de zână îndrăgeşti? …
„The Dream” de John Donne
Dear love, for nothing less than thee Would I have broke this happy dream; It was a theme For reason, much too strong for fantasy, Therefore thou wak'd'st me wisely; yet My dream thou brok'st not, but continued'st …

„Repetitio” de Nina Cassian
Un fir de iarbă, un fir de iarbă arcuit, un fir de iarbă arcuit ca o geană, un fir de iarbă străbate pământul, îndulcindu-i pustietatea... Un fir de iarbă îmi numără anotimpurile, unul câte unul, patru câte patru, …
„Poem alb” de Miron Radu Paraschivescu
Poate că spre tine-ndreptasem acest gând devenit cuvânt Poate că spre tine-ndreptasem acest cuvânt devenit sânge Poate că spre tine-ndreptasem acest sânge devenit făptură Poate că spre tine-ndreptasem această iubire şi ură Poate că spre tine-ndreptasem această nefiinţă …
„Zburau” de Nina Cassian
Zburau... El avea o aripă în stânga, ea avea o aripă în dreapta, ca un singur trup între două aripi zburau... Respirând între două aripi, ea - plămânul lui drept, el - plămânul ei stâng, printr-un cer saturat …
„Autoportret în timp” de A.E. Baconski
Am semănat cu pădurea, cu moara de vânt, cu tăcutele, negrele, necunoscutele cruci de la margini de drumuri, cu umbrele cailor noaptea pe-nalte coline moldave am semănat - şi cu chipul ciudaţilor zei îngropaţi în nisip lângă mare. …

„Astrophil and Stella - Sonnet XV” de Philip Sidney
