Stephen King or Patricia Cornwell?

Two of my favourite authors, and I have a favourite, only because I really got to know each of the characters in her books, (Kay Scarpetta series), it has to be Patricia. Who is your favourite and what was your favourite book.

are you good at poetry?

Sonnet 30

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof aganist the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I don not think I would.

I need to be an expert on this poem and I need your help. Please give me your interpretation or analysis of it. I need to understand it, what do it mean? Thank you

Please help! I have been looking for the name or author of this Poem for years!!?

It's actually 2 poems (possibly by the same person) here are some of the lines I remember:

1) When Mother comes each morning, she wears her oldest things, she doesn't make a russle she hasn't any rings.
When Mother comes at tea time....
When Mother comes at bedtime, her evening dress she wears, she kisses each our foreheads and helps us say our prayers....

2) Blind folk see the faeries, oh better far than we.......because our eyes are filled with things we do not wish to see
Deaf folk hear the faeries, how ever soft their song ......

They were poems in a little blue book I had as a girl - it went missing many years ago and I've been looking for the name of the poems or their author ever since.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated!!
