About the Book: 50 Worlds Greatest Poems
A mere means to relax on a leisurely day for some and for others being life
itself, poetry has been written on almost everything that exists around us—from
odes on seemingly insignificant objects to the lamentation of death of people
revered worldwide. Poetry is something that is dream-like and yet
thought-provoking.
The voyage into the beautiful and mesmerizing world of poetry in this edition
begins in the fourteenth century with an extract from Chaucers legendary work
Canterbury Tales and stops in the twentieth century with Dylan Thomas
power-packed poetry, his vehemence on fighting death till your last breath.
