![]() The Mask The Court of the Dragon The Yellow Sign The Demoiselle D'Ys The Prophets' Paradise The Street of the Four Winds The Street of the First Shell The Street of Our Lady of the Fields Rue Barree Nyarlathotep - H.P. Lovecraft This poet and playwright was the first woman in England to make her living as an author. Her career in royal espionage, as well as her bisexuality (and indeed apparent polyamory - judging from the contents of this poetry!), informed the passion and sly cynicism of her work. A more extensive biography can be found here. The Coquette To the Fair Clarinda, Who Made Love to Me, Imagined More Than Woman On Desire The Disappointment The Dream A Thousand Martyrs Song (Love Armed, Song from Abdelazar) On Her Loving Two Equally Most of these are reflections on apocalyptic themes. Oddly, the one that isn't is the Lovecraft poem -- included for a rare glimpse at a more spiritual side of the author. Primavera - H.P. Lovecraft The Waste Land - T.S. Eliot The Hollow Men - T.S.
