Technology plus poetry. This one’s from Poetry magazine’s app spin.
from Fancy and the Poet / by Susanna Moodie (1803-1885)
I took the crown from the snowy hand,
It flashed like a living star

DPF / Mallarme
More gardens. This is from the book, French Symbolist Poetry, trans. by CF MacIntyre.
from Prose / by Stephane Mallarme b. 1842
at this hour when we are still,
that too tall for reason grows
the stalk of multiple asphodels
DPF / Whittier
from Snow-bound: A Winter Idyll / by John Greenleaf Whittier
The sun that brief December day
Rose cheerless over hills of gray,
And, darkly circled, gave at noon
A sadder light than waning moon.
DPF / Hood

from Silence / by Thomas Hood b. 1789
There is a silence where hath been no sound,
There is a silence where no sound may be,
DPF / Moore
More on silence. Or, “Moore” on silence. No Marianne Moore yet?! Fathers and daughters: here’s a quote from her father, below. More/Moore here:

from Silence / by Marianne Moore b. 1887
“The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint.”
DPF / Poe

from A Dream Within a Dream / by Edgar Allan Poe b. 1809
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?
DPF / Thoreau
Birds this week. Needing a bluebird of happiness today. Best known for Walden, he was a poet first. http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/601
from The Bluebirds / by Henry David Thoreau
In the midst of the poplar that stands by the door,
We planted a bluebird box
