“Then why, my soul, dost thou complain?
Why drooping seek the dark recess?
Shake off the melancholy chain
For God created all to bless
But ah! My breast is human still;
The rising sigh, the falling tear,
My languid vitals’ feeble rill
The sickness of my soul declare”

This collection would be better titled, “Greatest Hits of Old Dead Poets.” Lots of Longfellow and Emerson, but nothing contemporary and thought-provoking. I got about 50 pages in before giving up.
