William Blake (British/English, 1757-1827) • Albion • 1793 • British Museum

In Blake's mythology, Albion was the primeval man whose fall and division results in the FourZoas: Urizen, Tharmas, Luvah/Orc and Urthona/Los. The name derives from the ancient and mythological name of Britain, Albion. – Wikipedia

(I MARRIED A) MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE - John Cooper Clarke.

The milky way she walks around

All feet firmly off the ground

Two worlds collide, two worlds collide

Here comes the future bride

Gimme a lift to the lunar base

I wanna marry a monster from outer space

***

I fell in love with an alien being

Whose skin was jelly – whose teeth were green

She had the big bug eyes and the death-ray glare

Feet like water wings – purple hair

I was over the moon – I asked her back to my place

Then I married the monster – from outer space

***

The days were numbered – the nights were spent

In a rent free furnished oxygen tent

When a cyborg chef served up moon beams

Done super rapid on a laser beam

I needed nutrition to keep up the pace

When I married the monster from outer space

***

We walked out – tentacle in hand

You could sense that the earthlings would not understand

They’d go.. nudge nudge …when we got off the bus

Saying it’s extra-terrestial – not like us

And it’s bad enough with another race

But fuck me… a monster …from outer space

***

In a cybernetic fit of rage

She pissed off to another age

She lives in 1999

With her new boyfriend – a blob of slime

Each time I see her translucent face

I remember the monster from outer space

Poetry is my Alchemy...

Poetry is my Alchemy…

Grief, sadness, depression and despair became my art. Their union with my inner optimism, romanticism and imagination coalesced and birthed a world of words through my poetry and fiction where love and sadness live in harmony. Where joy is light and despair it’s shadow. It has become a way to cope with life and fully live it with less fear and deeper joy than I knew possible. We can accept…

"Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."

— An excerpt from Percy Bysshe Shelley's A Defence of Poetry (1821) in honor of World Poetry Day

THE MOON MAIDEN’S SONG

Sleep ! Cast thy canopy

Over this sleeper’s brain,

Dim grow his memory,

When he wake again.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Sleep ! Yet thy days are mine ;

Love’s seal is over thee :

Far though my ways from thine,

Dim though thy memory.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Ernest Christopher Dowson

Mouth like a mimosa breeze

Syruped tongue was born to please

Your lychee lips leave me on my knees

I taste heaven when you tease

We move like a soft summer rain

Blossoms cover all our pain

A clementine kiss, raspberry stain

Your touch is anything but plain

I melt like ice cubes in your hands

Acquiescing to your demands

Warmed as though by silken sands

All tangled up like ampersands

I appreciate and understand the love for Dead Poets Society in the Marauder-era fandom. The aesthetic is immaculate.

As a Brit and an older fan I would like to make a public service announcement that you're all sleeping on The History Boys. And would encourage everyone to go watch it.

#mauraders #wolfstar #the marauders #dead gay wizards #history boys #the history boys #marauder era #marauder coded #this film is a more accurate representation of the British school experience #plus it's a queer classic #the dialogue is *chefs kiss*#the performances are amazing #the references to art and film and music and literature are 10/10 #public service announcement #alan bennett is incredible #give it a go #examines class and education in Britain #the film soundtrack is also amazing #is also more diverse than dead poets society
