Algernon Charles Swinburne:
(5 April 1837 – 10 April 1909).
English poet, playwright, novelist and critic.
He wrote many plays – all tragedies – and collections of poetry such as Poems and Ballads, and contributed to the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
In the mute August afternoon, they trembled to some undertune of music in the silver air.
That August time, it was a delight to watch the red moons wane to white.
And a bird overhead sang follow, and a bird to the right sang here. And the arch of the leaves was hollow, and the meaning of May was clear.
March, master of winds, bright minstrel and marshal of storms that enkindle the season they smite.
