— famous first lines of poetry —

REPOST, do NOT reblog.
BOLD the ones that apply to your muse.  

i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked // tyger tyger, burning bright  // i have done it again. //   do not go gentle into that good night. // the sea is calm to-night. //  let us go then, you and i,  //  april is the cruelest month, //  pretty women wonder where my secret lies.  // there is a place where the sidewalk ends // i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  //  whose woods these are i think i know //  let us twain walk aside from the rest;  // once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, //  i taught myself to live simply and wisely // it so happens i am sick of being a man // i wandered lonely as a cloud  //  does it dry up like a raisin in the sun ?  //  o my love is like a red, red rose  //  o captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done; // out of the night that covers me // it was many and many a year ago,  //  you may write me down in history //  do not stand at my grave and weep  // some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.  // hope is the thing with feathers // the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, // no man is an island

remember me when i am gone away,  // i met a traveller from an antique land //  ‘twas brillig, and the slithy toves  // this is thy hour o soul, //  when we wear the mask that grins and lies, //  death be not proud,  //  and death shall have no dominion.  // laugh, and the world laughs with you;  // the art of losing isn’t hard to master; //  to see a world in a grain of sand  //  is there anybody there? said the traveller //  nobody heard him, the dead man, //  that crazed girl improving her music.  // come to me in the silence of the night; //  where the mind is without fear and the head is held high  //  when you are old and grey and full of sleep, // in flanders’ fields the poppies blow  //   i thought of you and how you love this beauty  //  life, believe, is not a dream  //  it may be misery not to sing at all,  // if starry space no limit knows

come live with me and be my love, //  had we but world enough and time, //  my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense  //  bright star, would i were steadfast as thou art– //  thou still unravish’d bride of quietness  // how do i love thee? let me count the ways.  // heaven is what i cannot reach !  //  my dear, my dear, i know // in visions of the dark night //  shall i compare thee to a summers day? //  break, break, break //  she walks in beauty,  // i had a dream, which was not all a dream. // he clasps the crag with crooked hands.
