"Worth While" is one of the great poems by the American Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 – 1919). It is a poem that calls for focusing on positive sides in life and expecting the best, regardless of hardships and pain. -- WORTH WHILE It is easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is one who will smile, When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth, Is the smile that shines through tears. -- Read by Lee Ann Howlett https://librivox.org/worth-while-by-ella-wheeler-wilcox/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC No.7 Alone With My Thoughts - Esther Abrami -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/lake-sea-water-waves-sunset-76900/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/man-tree-silhouette-landscape-5605673/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ella_Wheeler_Wilcox_circa_1919.jpg -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Was, Is, And Yet-To-Be" is a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, an American author and poet who lived from 1850 to 1919. This poem reflects on the past, present, and future, exploring the continuum of time and the human experience within it. -- Was, Is, and Yet-to-Be Were chatting over a cup of tea. In tarnished finery smelling of must, Was talked of people long turned to dust; Of titles and honours and high estate, All forgotten or out of date; Of wonderful feasts in the long ago, Of pride that perished with nothing to show. "I loathe the present," said Was, with a groan; "I live in pleasures that I HAVE known." The Yet-to-be, in a gown of gauze, Looked over the head of musty Was, And gazed far off into misty space With a wrapt expression upon her face. "Such wonderful pleasures are coming to me, Such glory, such honour," said Yet-to-be. "No one dreamed, in the vast Has-Been, Of such successes as I shall win. "The past, the present -why, what are they? I live for the joy of a future day." Then practical Is, in a fresh print dress, Spoke up with a laugh, "I must confess "I find to-day so pleasant," she said, "I never look back, and seldom ahead. "Whatever has been, is a finished sum; Whatever will be -why, let it come. "To-day is mine. And so, you see, I have the past and the yet-to-be; "For to-day is the future of yesterday, And the past of to-morrow. I live while I may, "And I think the secret of pleasure is this. And this alone," said practical Is. --- Read by Heidi Paek https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-118/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC A Walk Into Space - Topher Mohr and Alex Elena -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ella_Wheeler_Wilcox_circa_1919.jpg Bain, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons La Primavera https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Botticelli-primavera.jpg Sandro Botticelli, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Animal Rights and alleviation of animal sufferings are the concern of great minds and noble souls. "Voice of the Voiceless" is a poem by the American Poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 – 1919). Ella Wheeler was so sensitive about alleviation of animal sufferings that she was a dedicated animal rights campaigner in her day. She was way ahead of her time. And this marvelous poem speaks for itself. The poem starts with these amazing lines: I am the voice of the voiceless; Through me the dumb shall speak; Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear The cry of the wordless weak. From street, from cage, and from kennel, From jungle and stall, the wail Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin Of the mighty against the frail. -- CREDITS MUSIC Lost In The Forest - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions -- Heartbreaking by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100208 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/videos/spring-rain-meadow-forest-green-38344/ https://pixabay.com/videos/dog-pet-animal-small-furry-cute-15305/ https://pixabay.com/photos/beagle-dog-locked-kennel-938013/ https://pixabay.com/videos/hunt-hunter-to-hunt-high-seat-14005/ https://pixabay.com/videos/reindeer-deer-animals-nature-wild-6949/ https://pixabay.com/videos/sparrow-bird-jump-dance-feather-38521/ https://pixabay.com/videos/elephant-wild-forest-kerala-india-112696/ https://pixabay.com/videos/cat-dog-kitten-fireplace-comfort-156357/ https://pixabay.com/videos/snake-cobra-serpent-snake-tongue-173139/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cain_and_Abel_(%3F)_MET_201596.jpg Metropolitan Museum of Art, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/videos/crane-heron-bird-path-flying-27279/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/hunter-rifleman-fighter-huntsman-160297/ https://pixabay.com/photos/male-lion-female-lion-lion-lions-3997167/ https://pixabay.com/videos/lion-mane-wild-wildlife-africa-148403/ https://pixabay.com/videos/dove-bird-flight-wing-135727/ https://pixabay.com/videos/birds-fly-sky-pigeons-blue-circle-102693/ https://pixabay.com/videos/cows-cattle-calves-herd-dairy-172915/ https://pixabay.com/photos/church-window-stained-glass-england-579056/ https://pixabay.com/photos/woods-forest-nature-wood-sunset-183519/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ella_Wheeler_Wilcox_circa_1919.jpg -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Mewlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273) is a Persian poet known simply as Rumi. Rumi was a mystic, belonging to the Sufi tradition in Islam. He wrote in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and even (at times) Greek. So even in his own day, there was something universal and even cosmopolitan about Rumi’s wisdom and ideas. Did I not say to you, "Go not there, for I am your friend; in this mirage of annihilation I am the fountain of life?" Even though in anger you depart a hundred thousand years from me, in the end you will come to me, for I am your goal. Did I not say to you, "Be not content with worldly forms, for I am the fashioner of the tabernacle of your contentment?" Did I not say to you, "I am the sea and you are a single fish; go not to dry land, for I am your crystal sea?" Did I not say to you, "Go not like birds to the snare; come, for I am the power of flight and your wings and feet?" Did I not say to you, “They will waylay you and make you cold, for I am the fire and warmth and heat of your desire?" Did I not say to you, "They will implant in you ugly qualities so that you will forget that I am the source of purity to you?" Did I not say to you, "Do not say from what direction the servant's affairs come into order?" I am the Creator without directions. If you are the lamp of the heart, know where the road is to the house; and if you are godlike of attribute, know that I am your Master. - Translated by A.J.

In this poem "I am a sculptor, a molder of form", Rumi writes about Love and the idea of becoming One. Some people read his words and think about a deep soul connection with a loved one. Others believe this writing is about the act of embracing and merging with a Higher Power. Could it also be both? -- I am a sculptor, a molder of form. In every moment I shape an idol. But then, in front of you, I melt them down I can rouse a hundred forms and fill them with spirit, but when I look into your face, I want to throw them in the fire. My souls spills into yours and is blended. Because my soul has absorbed your fragrance, I cherish it. Every drop of blood I spill informs the earth, I merge with my Beloved when I participate in love. In this house of mud and water, my heart has fallen to ruins. Enter this house, my Love, or let me leave. --- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Aalaap in Raag Jhinjhoti - Sandeep Das, Adhiraj Chaudhuri -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-dream-child-tree-heart-1444023/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

He was soon assimilated with the necropolis god Seker becomming Ptah-Seker. Later as Ptah-Seker-Osiris he become assimilated by Osiris, lord of underworld.

"Love’s Philosophy" is one of the great poems written by Percy Bysshe Shelley The main theme is the relationship between the "connection" that exists for things in the natural world and the poet's desire to be connected to his object of affection. Shelley asks how there can be unity in nature but a lack of union in human relationships. Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley read by Andrew Gaunce -- The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not I with thine?— See the mountains kiss high heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me? -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- Credits MUSIC If You Close Your Eyes I'm Still With You - Late Night Feeler -- Photos https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Holman_Hunt_001.jpg William Holman Hunt, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/videos/waterfall-trees-forest-water-109786/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/

"To a Skylark" is a well-loved poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The poem's speaker addresses the bird directly and praises the purity of its music, later contrasting it with sad, hollow human communication. As an ode to the unmatched splendors of the natural world, and especially its spiritual power, "To a Skylark" remains a quintessential example of Romantic poetry. The poem's unconventional form features a song-like rhyme scheme and bouncy rhythm that subtly mimics the skylark's calls. -- Read by Jason Mills https://librivox.org/to-a-skylark-by-percy-bysshe-shelley/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Frolic - E's Jammy Jams -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/photos/mountains-village-trees-hills-615428/ https://pixabay.com/photos/skylark-song-bird-songbird-sky-lark-5177165/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline ===

“Ozymandias” is a sonnet written in 1817 by the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Ozymandias was a Greek name for the pharaoh Ramesses II, derived from a part of his throne name, Usermaatre. The poem explores the worldly fate of history and the ravages of time: even the greatest men and the empires they forge are impermanent, their legacies fated to decay into oblivion. -- I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” -- Read by David Barnes https://librivox.org/ozymandias-of-egypt-by-percy-bysshe-shelley/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Birth of a Hero Music by Bensound.com License code: DFU7RIS0OQAVHPVL -- Photos and vids https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Percy_Bysshe_Shelley._Stahlstich_von_W._Finden,_1833.jpg W.

"The Flower That Smiles Today", is Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem about the brevity of all things – all hopes, desires, and delights the world has to offer are short-lived and doomed to die. Everything is fleeting and transitory. Shelley laments that virtue or decency, friendship, and love are all rare and delicate: even once you have gained them you cannot guarantee they will last. Shelley argues that, while we have this dreamy world of joy and delight, we should seek to enjoy it, before we ‘wake to weep’ when it’s all over. -- Read by Phil Schempf https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-173-by-various/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Golden Cage - Jimena Contreras -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/stars-sky-night-starry-sky-1845140/ https://pixabay.com/photos/flower-anemone-petals-56414/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"For each ecstatic instant", or "Compensation" is a poem by the American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886). The poem is a meditation on the cyclical nature of life, and the idea that even in our darkest moments, there is always the possibility of renewal and growth. Emily Dickinson suggests that every ending is also a beginning, and that even in our times of greatest sorrow, there is always the potential for something new and beautiful to emerge. -- For each ecstatic instant We must an anguish pay In keen and quivering ratio To the ecstasy. For each beloved hour Sharp pittances of years, Bitter contested farthings And coffers heaped with tears. -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Decision - The Tower of Light -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/videos/aurora-borealis-northern-lights-90877/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/god-cares-caring-angel-comfort-4691902/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emily_Dickinson_daguerreotype_(cropped).jpg Original image: unknownderivative work: deerstop., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Going to Heaven!" is a poem by the American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886). It is a poem that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. At its most basic level, the poem is a reflection on the mystery of death and the possibility of an afterlife. The speaker expresses her sense of wonder and awe at the idea of going to heaven, and acknowledges her own uncertainty about what will happen after she dies. -- Going to heaven! I don’t know when, Pray do not ask me how,– Indeed, I’m too astonished To think of answering you! Going to heaven!– How dim it sounds! And yet it will be done As sure as flocks go home at night Unto the shepherd’s arm! Perhaps you’re going too! Who knows? If you should get there first, Save just a little place for me Close to the two I lost! The smallest “robe” will fit me, And just a bit of “crown”; For you know we do not mind our dress When we are going home. I’m glad I don’t believe it, For it would stop my breath, And I’d like to look a little more At such a curious earth! I am glad they did believe it Whom I have never found Since the mighty autumn afternoon I left them in the ground. -- Read by Winston Tharp https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-237-by-various/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Spirit of the Dead - Aakash Gandhi -- Photos and vids https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christ_in_Heaven_with_Four_Saints_and_a_Donor.jpg Domenico Ghirlandaio, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emily_Dickinson_daguerreotype_(cropped).jpg Original image: unknownderivative work: deerstop., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons https://pixabay.com/photos/clouds-sky-bright-daylight-light-1282314/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"I felt a Funeral in my Brain", is a poem by the American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886). It is a terrifying poem, as the speaker explores the idea of what it would feel like to be conscious after death. The words and imagery used suggest that perhaps the speaker was talking about the death of her sanity rather than her own physical death. While both interpretations remain viable possibilities, there seems to be greater connections and symbolism that support the idea of the speaker’s experiencing her own actual physical death. -- I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, And Mourners to and fro Kept treading - treading - till it seemed That Sense was breaking through - And when they all were seated, A Service, like a Drum - Kept beating - beating - till I thought My mind was going numb - And then I heard them lift a Box And creak across my Soul With those same Boots of Lead, again, Then Space - began to toll, As all the Heavens were a Bell, And Being, but an Ear, And I, and Silence, some strange Race Wrecked, solitary, here - -- Read by Nikolle Doolin https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-003/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Echoes of Time v2 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300030 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/videos/aurora-borealis-northern-lights-90877/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/halloween-2019-darkness-chilling-4573173/ https://pixabay.com/photos/grave-cemetery-death-lviv-ukraine-3113898/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emily_Dickinson_daguerreotype_(cropped).jpg Original image: unknownderivative work: deerstop., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Distant Time" is one of the best poems written by Rabindranath Tagore. It is the poem number 46 from Tagore’s Gitanjali: An Anthology of Poems. In this poem, Tagore emphasizes on the concept of God's all encompassing presence. Tagore is in accordance with the Hindu religious thinking that to search for God is vain, look within oneself, you shall find God there. I know not from what distant time Thou art ever coming nearer to meet me. Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye. In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret. I know not only why today my life is all astir, and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart. It is as if the time were come to wind up my work, and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.

"Leave This" is the poem number 11 from Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali: An Anthology of Poems. The poem addresses the hypocrisy within our hearts in the name of religion. In our pursuit of God, we truly seem to be running away from Him. Tagore wants the pious ones to go beyond the four walls of their shrines to where god really exists. -- Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads! Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut? Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee! He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the pathmaker is breaking stones. He is with them in sun and in shower, and his garment is covered with dust.

"A Lament For Adonis" is a poem written by the ancient Greek poet (poetess) Sappho (c. 630 – c. 570 BC). Sappho has become an icon for lyric poets. Adonis was the beautiful youth who was loved by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. According to the myth, he was killed by a wild boar during a hunting trip and died in Aphrodite’s arms as she wept for him. The poem is a lament, so it’s full of weeping, tears, and grief. It’s a grief without consolation, since Sappho doesn’t believe any of the other gods and goddesses can ease the pain of losing such a beautiful youth as Adonis. -- What shall we do, Cytherea? Lovely Adonis is dying. Ah, but we mourn him! Will You return when the Autumn Purples the earth, and the sunlight Sleeps in the vineyard? Will You return when the Winter Huddles the sheep, and Orion Goes to his hunting? Ah, but thy beauty, Adonis, With the soft spring and the south wind, Love and desire! -- Read by Peter Yearsley https://librivox.org/sappho-one-hundred-lyrics-version-2-by-bliss-carman/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Hopeless - Jimena Contreras -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Luca_Giordano_020.jpg Luca Giordano, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

These "Romantic Poems" were written by Sappho, a Greek poetess from the island of Lesbos (c. 630 – c. 570 BC). Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung while accompanied by music. In ancient times, Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess". Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost, and what is extant has mostly survived in fragmentary form. This video contains six Romantic Poems: 1. Like The Sweet Apple Like the sweet apple that reddens At end of the bough-- Far end of the bough-- Left by the gatherer's swaying, Forgotten, so thou. Nay, not forgotten, ungotten, Ungathered (till now). 2. Orchard Song Cool murmur of water through apple-wood Troughs without number The whole orchard fills, whilst the leaves Lend their music to slumber. 3. I have no complaint I have no complaint prosperity that the golden Muses gave me was no delusion: dead, I won't be forgotten 4. Moonlight The stars around the fair moon fade Against the night, When gazing full she fills the glade And spreads the seas with silvery light. 5. Loneliness Set are the Pleiades; theMoon is down And midnight dark on high. The hours, the hours, drift by, And here I lie, Alone 6. My Garden I've a garden, a garden of dreams, Where the cool breeze whispering sways Softly the apple-sprays, And from leaves that shimmer and quiver Down on mine eyelids streams A slumber-river. -- Read by Karen Golden --- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Celtic Impulse - Celtic by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100297 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/fantasy-background-sea-columns-3645263/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Erato_MET_ap74.42.jpg Giuseppe Fagnani, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Malarz_Safony_-_Kalpis_wykonana_technik%C4%85_Six.jpg Sappho Painter, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"My Lady" is a poem written by the Italian Poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). Dante is well-known for his poem Divine Comedy which is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. -- My Lady So gentle and so gracious doth appear My lady when she giveth her salute, That every tongue becometh trembling, mute; Nor do the eyes to look upon her dare. Although she hears her praises, she doth go Benignly vested with humility; And like a thing come down she seems to be From heaven to earth, a miracle to show. So pleaseth she whoever cometh nigh, She gives the heart a sweetness through the eyes, Which none can understand who doth not prove. And from her countenance there seems to move A spirit sweet and in Love’s very guise, Who to the soul, in going, sayeth: Sigh! -- Translated by CHARLES ELIOT NORTON.

"Alone" is a poem Edgar Allan Poe wrote shortly after the death of his foster mother. In this autobiographical poem, Poe describes his lifelong feelings of loneliness, isolation, and difference. -- From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were—I have not seen As others saw—I could not bring My passions from a common spring— From the same source I have not taken My sorrow—I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone— And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— Then—in my childhood—in the dawn Of a most stormy life—was drawn From ev’ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still— From the torrent, or the fountain— From the red cliff of the mountain— From the sun that ’round me roll’d In its autumn tint of gold— From the lightning in the sky As it pass’d me flying by— From the thunder, and the storm— And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view— -- Read by Winston Tharp https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-142-by-various/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com -- CREDITS MUSIC No.7 Alone With My Thoughts - Esther Abrami -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/videos/star-celestial-body-space-stars-121540/ https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://pixabay.com/photos/people-woman-travel-adventure-trek-2591874/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"The Raven" is one of the most famous narrative poems written by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. The Raven is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a distraught lover who is paid a mysterious visit by a talking raven. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further antagonize the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. -- Read by Justin Wilson https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-209-by-various/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com -- CREDITS MUSIC Forest of Fear - Aakash Gandhi sound effect: Crow Call -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/king-of-the-ravens-raven-castle-804144/ https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1849. It's a contemplation on the fleeting nature of time and the elusive quality of reality. The speaker questions whether life itself is merely an illusion, comparing it to a dream within a dream. The poem's somber tone and existential themes have made it one of Poe's most celebrated works. -- Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow — You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand — How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep — while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? -- Read by Louise J.
