My Aesthetic

I can’t remember a whole lot but a few off the top of my head:

“Song for an Ancient City” - Amal el-Mohtar (Damascus)“I’m explaining a few things” - Pablo Neruda (Spain)“Drinking the Sun of Corinth” - Odysseas Elytis (Greece)“Dover Beach” - Matthew Arnold (England)“MCMXIV” - Philip Larkin (England)”The Lake Isle of Innisfree” - W. B. Yeats (Ireland)“Postscript” / “Tollund” - Seamus Heaney (Ireland/Denmark)”Finisterre” - Sylvia Plath (France)“Ithaka” - C.P. Cavafy (Greece, with a touch of myth for good measure)“Drinking” - Gabriela Mistral (a brief spiritual globtrot sort of)“City Moon” - Francisco Aragón (Portugal)“Castles In Spain” / “Amalfi” / “Belfry of Bruges” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow“Florence” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Italy)“Evening: Ponte Al Mare, Pisa” - Percy Bysshe Shelley (Italy)“In Egypt, one hour isn’t like any other” - Mahmoud Darwish (Egypt/Nile Delta)“Song of the Arbat” - Bulat Okudzhava (Moscow - scroll down a bit on the site)“Little Ballad of the Three Rivers” / “Poem of the Soleá” - Federico García Lorca (Spain/Andalusia). I’ve only started reading him recently but if you have the time, you can also check out Lorca’s Sketches of Spain, Six Galician Poems and Poema del Canto Jondo which should hopefully give you a lot more of what you’re looking for! x
