William Yeats - The Second Coming
Matthew Arnold - Dover Beach
Edwin Arlington Robinson - Richard Cory

There's another I'd put up here, but I can't find it--it showed up in one of the yearly anthologies back in the late nineties. A three-page romantic story written in iambic pentameter, IIRC; boy and girl fall in love, boy goes off to war, boy gets "Dear John" letter, boy dies, boy comes back from grave to wedding and takes girl's heart--because she *did* promise him "Love me or leave me, my heart's yours forever/Take it or break it, I give it to you."

All very sweet, really. Anyone recognize it?

Anyway. :)

...my, I can't count. Also, I'm apparently being hesitant about bugging the Ohio people to do this. It's no slight, I just feel weird asking, for some reason... (Also, I think I see less memes in your LJs than the ones up here, as a rule.)
