Four are on my all-time favorite list: The Raven, How Do I Love Thee, Trees, and Rhyme of...
Three I don't remember reading or hearing of: Valediction..., To Coy Mistress, or Love Song of J.A.P.
'Bout 50 years ago I invested in (read that paid out on "time") The Harvard Classics - set of 20 books of poets and their works. Put the to good reading over the years.
Tom, you must do the Melded Medley again soon; well done, and very interesting!
Love, Micke

First, I love the picture. Second, I still read The Raven, a Christmas Carol, and The Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner at least once a year - truly classics, indeed! And The Old Man and The Sea ain't too shabby either.
