Non-English poetry is also welcome. Extra points if it's about non-political themes.

    I really like Dickenson's poems. Short, but with a lot of auditory depth. Punctuation and emphasis do so much in so little space.

    There's a certain Slant of light,

    Winter Afternoons –

    That oppresses, like the Heft

    Of Cathedral Tunes –

    Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –

    We can find no scar,

    But internal difference –

    Where the Meanings, are –

    None may teach it – Any –

    'Tis the seal Despair –

    An imperial affliction

    Sent us of the Air –

    When it comes, the Landscape listens –

    Shadows – hold their breath –

    When it goes, 'tis like the Distance

    On the look of Death –
