Robert Frost - Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the...

Triangle of Sadness

In Ruben Östlund’s wickedly funny Palme d’Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.  
    They may not mean to, but they do.  
They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
    By fools in old-style hats and coats,  
Who half the time were soppy-stern
    And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
    It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
    And don’t have any kids yourself.

Gerard Manley Hopkins - The Lantern out of Doors

Sometimes a lantern moves along the night,
       That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
       I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,
With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?

Men go by me whom either beauty bright
       In mould or mind or what not else makes rare:
       They rain against our much-thick and marsh air
Rich beams, till death or distance buys them quite.

Death or distance soon consumes them: wind
       What most I may eye after, be in at the end
I cannot, and out of...

Pedro Homem de Mello - Véspera

Seríamos dois faunos sobre a praia,
Batidos pelo vento e pelo sal,
Tendo por manto apenas a cambraia
Da espuma
E, por fronteira,
O areal.

Gémeos de corpo e alma,
Ver um era ver outro:
A mesma voz
A mesma transparência,
A mesma calma
De búzio, intacto, em cada um de nós!
Felicidade?
Não.
Inconsciência!

E as nossas mãos brincavam com o lume
À beira da impaciência
E do ciúme...
