LE CHAT

Viens, mon beau chat, sur mon cur amoureux:

Retiens les griffes de ta patte,

Et laisse-moi plonger dans tes beaux yeux,

Mêlés de métal et d'agate.

Lorsque mes doigts caressent à loisir

Ta tête et ton dos élastique,

Et que ma main s'enivre du plaisir

De palper ton corps électrique,

Je vois ma femme en esprit; son regard,

Comme le tien, aimable bête,

Profond et froid, coupe et fend comme un dard.

Et, des pieds jusques à la tête,

Un air subtil, un dangereux parfum

Nagent autour de son corps brun.

Publisher's Summary:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 10 recordings of An Apology for Sadness by Anne Lynch Botta. This was the Weekly Poetry project for March 13, 2011.

Anne Charlotte Lynch Botta was an American poet, writer, teacher and socialite whose home was the central gathering place of the literary elite of her era.

At Mrs. Botta's receptions every Saturday night, attendees would find the most well-known writers, actors and artists, such as Poe, Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Louisa May Alcott, Horace Greeley, Richard Henry Stoddard, Andrew Carnegie, Mary Mapes Dodge, Julia Ward Howe, Charles Butler, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Delia Bacon, Grace Greenwood, Bayard Taylor, William Cullen Bryant, Helen Hunt Jackson, actress Fanny Kemble, Daniel Webster, and many more. Her friend Kate Sanborn started her literary lecturing career at these receptions. Said a Boston writer: "It was not so much what Mrs. Botta did for literature with her own pen, as what she helped others to do, that will make her name a part of the literary history of the country."

Title: Mother Nature (Dickinson)

Author: Emily Dickinson

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 8 recordings of Mother Nature by Emily Dickinson. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for June 3, 2013

While Emily Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.

Mother Nature is a wonderful poem by Dickinson about nature. (Summary by SarahParshall and Wikipedia)

Publisher's Summary:

Aldrich attended school in Portsmouth to prepare for college. This period of his life is partly described in his semi-autobiographical novel The Story of a Bad Boy (1870), in which "Tom Bailey" is the juvenile hero. Critics have said that this novel contains the first realistic depiction of childhood in American fiction and prepared the ground for Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Nocturne was taken from the Yale Book of American Verse, edited by Thomas R. Lounsbury (1838 - 1915)(Summary from Wikipedia)
