My favo...Good to see his poetry still being lauded. My favourite poem of his is this sonnet:<br /><br />In night when colours all to black are cast,<br /> Distinction lost, or gone down with the light ;<br />The eye a watch to inward senses plac'd,<br /> Not seeing, yet still having power of sight,<br />Gives vain alarums to the inward sense,<br /> Where fear stirr'd up with witty tyranny,<br />Confounds all powers, and thorough self-offence<br /> Doth forge and raise impossibility ;<br />Such as in thick-depriving darkness<br /> Proper reflections of the error be ;<br />And images of self-confusedness,<br /> Which hurt imaginations only see,<br />And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils ;<br />Which but expressions be of inward evils. <br />Conor Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414409219018437502noreply@blogger.com
