In today’s tumultuous world #poetry has a valuable place, a place for recording sentiments and feelings, events and reactions. For centuries, leaders throughout the world have turned to poetry for solace and for a call to action. Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who was jailed 27 years for his activism and in 1994 became President of South Africa, regularly recited the poem Invictus during his imprisonment. Invictus, meaning unconquerable or undefeated in Latin, was written in 1875 by William Ernest Henley. #Poem "Invictus" by English #poet William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. As we maneuver through these challenging times, let us keep in mind the power of this poem… to confront adversity and to come out the other side of it with the creation of positive change. #Podcast: iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/br/podcast/poetry/id1446284914?mt=2 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5jvA0f0wxhhf01Hh5UufGa Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/poetry-7?refid=stpr Deezer: https://deezer.com/show/2032382 Google https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLnNvdW5kY2xvdWQuY29tL3VzZXJzL3NvdW5kY2xvdWQ6dXNlcnM6MjQ2MTM2MjIvc291bmRzLnJzcw ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur9zOu5id3o

Apenas dois meses mais velho que Shakespeare, também foi seu antecessor no drama inglês. Dramaturgo, #poeta e tradutor renascentista inglês Marlowe foi reconhecido por seu talento, e ainda jovem ganhou bolsas de estudo para o mais importante colégio da época, o King’s School e também para a Universidade de Cambridge. #Poesia "O Pastor Apaixonado À Sua Amada" [Christopher Marlowe] Venha viver comigo e seja meu amor, E vamos provar todos os prazeres Que vales, bosques, colinas e campos, Florestas, ou montanha íngremes nos dão. E nos sentaremos sobre as rochas, Admirando os pastores alimentarem as suas ovelhas, Por rios rasos para cujas quedas Melodiosos pássaros cantam madrigais. E eu farei para ti camas de rosas E mil #poesias perfumadas, Um buquê de flores, e uma túnica Toda bordada com folhas de murta; Um vestido feito de lã fina que extrairemos de nossos lindos cordeiros; chinelos bastante forrados para o frio, Com fivelas de ouro puro; Um cinto de palha e botões de hera, Com fechos de coral e âmbar: E se estes prazeres podem te mover Venha viver comigo e seja meu amor. Os pastores apaixonados devem dançar e cantar Para teu deleite em cada manhã de maio: Se essas delícias tua mente podem mover, Então viva comigo e seja meu amor. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDmX8qfQYFk
