How would you suggest I start with poetry? I was thinking
>Harold Bloom's Anthology (unless someone can recommend a better one)
>Shelley complete poems
>Dickinson complete poems
>Keats complete poems
>reread Othello, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet (read in secondary school)
>read Hamlet, King Lear, Julius Caesar and The Tempest

>tfw my favourite English romantic is Byron, but if you come out and say that you sound like you don't actually like poetry
Don Juan is the greatest long English poem of that era, prove me wrong

>darkness
Even dogs assail'd their masters, all save one,
And he was faithful to a corse, and kept
The birds and beasts and famish'd men at bay,
Till hunger clung them, or the dropping dead
Lur'd their lank jaws; himself sought out no food,
But with a piteous and perpetual moan,
And a quick desolate cry, licking the hand
Which answer'd not with a caress—he died.
The crowd was famish'd by degrees; but two
Of an enormous city did survive,
And they were enemies: they met beside
The dying embers of an altar-place
Where had been heap'd a mass of holy things
For an unholy usage; they rak'd up,
And shivering scrap'd with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for a little life, and made a flame
Which was a mockery; then they lifted up
Their eyes as it grew lighter, and beheld
Each other's aspects—saw, and shriek'd, and died—
