Algernon Swinburne was a great national poet of Great Britain who again hit a resurgence in the 1980's during the Punk and New Wave era because of his many excesses and what we would call today a "downwardly spiraling lifestyle", which was very attractive to the alienated youth of that era. This is classic poetry with a dark edge from before the turn of the last century. It is the original bound volume, not a later reprint.
And rage and anguish now cast out,
And bore it toward a kingly tomb,
The wife whose love had wrought his doom
Came thither, fair as morning's bloom,
And dark as twilight's doubt.
And bore it toward a kingly tomb,
The wife whose love had wrought his doom
Came thither, fair as morning's bloom,
And dark as twilight's doubt.
