WRWilliam Robert Rodgers
William Robert Rodgers (1909 – 1969), known as Bertie, and born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was probably best known as a poet, but was also a prose essayist, a book reviewer, a radio broadcaster and script writer, a lecturer and, latterly, a teacher, as well as a former Presbyterian minister. He was born in Belfast and grew up in Mountpottinger in the east of the city. At school he showed a talent for writing and went on to read English at Queen\'s University Belfast where he won a number of prizes for literary essays, graduating in 1931. On completion of his degree, he entered Presbyterian Theological College and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1935. He was first appointed to Cloveneden Church, Loughgall, County Armagh, where he was minister for 12 years. In 1936 he married Marie Harden Waddell, a medical doctor who set up practice in the village. Awake! and Other Poems (1941) was given glowing reviews in Britain and America, although the first edition was almost totally...

IMIohann Mayer
An emissary of the Queen Christina of Sweden to the khan of the Tartars Islam Giray the 3rd, Iohann Mayer made a journey through Moldavia during May 1651. He was sent to accompany the Tartar messenger who had brought to the queen the letter of the khan that contained proposals of common operation against Poland and he was to hand over to the khan the answer of the queen as well. He passed through The White Citadel for the first time in December 1650 on his way towards Crimea. Now, in the summer of the next year, he was coming back on the same route and was finding again the same boatmen he had used six months earlier, on leaving. One cannot be aware of any other details of his winter journey towards Crimea, no other details about his itinerary through Moldavia he is most likely to have used to make his way to the khan` s court. His journey diary is preceded with the words: These are those that happened and occurred during my journey to Bakhchisaray and during the period I spent there,...

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born on August 4, 1792, at Field Place, near Horsham in Sussex, into an aristocratic family. His father, Timothy Shelley, was a Sussex squire and a member of Parliament. Shelley attended Syon House Academy and Eton and in 1810 he entered the Oxford University College. In 1811 Shelley was expelled from the college for publishing The Necessity Of Atheism, which he wrote with Thomas Jefferson Hogg. Shelley\'s father withdrew his inheritance in favor of a small annuity, after he eloped with the 16-year old Harriet Westbrook, the daughter of a London tavern owner. The pair spent the following two years traveling in England and Ireland, distributing pamphlets and speaking against political injustice. In 1813 Shelley published his first important poem, the atheistic Queen Mab. The poet\'s marriage to Harriet was a failure. In 1814 Shelley traveled abroad with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, the daughter of the philosopher and anarchist William Godwin (1756-1836). Mary\'s...

ACAdelbert von Chamisso
Adelbert von Chamisso (January 30, 1781 – August 21, 1838) was a German poet and botanist. He was born Louis Charles Adélaïde de Chamissot at the château of Boncourt in Champagne, France, the ancestral seat of his family. Driven out by the French Revolution, his parents settled in Berlin, where in 1796 young Chamisso obtained the post of page-in-waiting to the queen, and in 1798 entered a Prussian infantry regiment as ensign. His family was shortly thereafter permitted to return to France; he remained in Germany and continued his military career. He had little education, but sought distraction from the dull routine of the Prussian military service in assiduous study. In collaboration with Varnhagen von Ense, he founded (1803) the Berliner Musenalmanach, in which his first verses appeared. The enterprise was a failure, and, interrupted by the war, it came to an end in 1806. It brought him, however, to the notice of many of the literary celebrities of the day and established his...

"Hospitalario y fiel en su reflejo donde a ser apariencia se acostumbra el material vivir, esta el espejo como un claro de luna en la penumbra. Pompa le da en las noches la flotante claridad de la lampara, y tristeza la rosa que en el vaso agonizante tambien en el inclina la cabeza. Si hace doble el dolor, tambien repite las cosas que me son jardin del alma y acaso espera que algun dia habite en la ilusion de su azulada calma, el Huesped que le deje reflejedas frentes juntas y manos enlazadas."

RCRosalía de Castro
Fue bautizada con los nombres de María Rosalía Rita. Hija de madre soltera y padre desconocido (supuestamente un cura de la zona). Muy poco se sabe de su educación. Se sabe que en la escuela mostró talento de versificadora. También le gustaba el dibujo, la música y la declamación. Contrajo matrimonio con Manuel Murguía, erudito cronista de Galicia. Al año siguiente da a luz a su primera hija, Alejandra, a la que han de seguir seis hijos más. Su domicilio cambió muchas veces, entre Madrid y Simancas. Rosalía nunca disfrutó de una buena salud. Luchando siempre con la enfermedad, y a menudo con la penuria, vivió dedicada a su hogar: a sus hijos y a su marido. Nunca aspiró a la fama. De hecho, su marido fue el que la convenció de que publicara sus obras. Murió de cáncer a los cuarenta y ocho años en su casa de Padrón, que hoy es un museo. Todos sus hijos murieron antes que ella, sin poder dejar herederos. Compuso sus primeros versos a la edad de 12 años. A los 17 años ya era conocida en...
