• Kinds of poetry

• "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"
• Ode to west wind 

Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 - 1822
I
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The wingèd seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave,until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

Her clarion o’er the dreaming earth, and fill
(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)
With living hues and odours plain and hill:

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;
Destroyer and Preserver; hear, O hear!

Edgar Allen Poe

• The raven 
• a narrative poem by American 
• noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere
• It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. 
• Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". 
• The poem makes use of a number of folk and classical references.

Anton Chekov

• The whole world is a garden, The Cherry Orchard 
• Three sisters 
• The seagull
