What is your favourite piece of writing?? Whether it's a poem, inspirational quote or any form of literature?

Answer 1

This is my favorite poem. Its by Anne Bradstreet.

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Answer 2

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone.
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum,
Bring out the coffin... let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead,
Scribbling on the sky the message: He is Dead.
Put crepe bows 'round the necks of public doves,
Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East, my West.
My working week and my Sunday rest.
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song,
I thought love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now, put out every one.
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour out the ocean and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

- W.H. Auden

Answer 3

Fiction. Because while you can write it to be as wild as yo want, good fiction is still grounded in emotion an experiance that connects with the reader. A poem can be inspirational as well as any quote from Churchill, but even the knight protecting the damsil in distress (pardon my spelling) can be connected with the protevtive boyfriend or someone who really would give their life for someone they love.

Answer 4

"Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a gift, that's why it's called present." I love this quote! and to me this kind of inspirational, but I think it's about sports: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

Answer 6

To the Loneliest One

There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable
So great it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this
That in immensity
There is one lonelier than you."

Theodore Sturgeon

Answer 7

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Answer 8

It would be too easy to say 'all of mine'! However:

Keats' "La Belle Dame sans Merci";

Milton's "Paradise Lost";

Dante's "Inferno"; and,

all the sonneteers from Grecian times to the present.

Ah, the heroic couplet...

Paul

Answer 9

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd stay away
