Xuthal of the Dusk

Robert E. Howard

The desert shimmered in the heat waves. Conan the Cimmerian stared out over the aching desolation and involuntarily drew the back of his powerful hand over his blackened lips. He stood like a bronze image in the sand, apparently impervious to the murderous sun, though his only garment was a silk loin-cloth, girdled by a wide gold-buckled belt from which hung a saber and a broad-bladed poniard. On his clean-cut limbs were evidences of scarcely healed wounds.

Robur le Conquérant

Jules Verne

The Sonnets

William Shakespeare

Shakespeares sonnets cannot be overestimated; this is the best sort of poetry. How clean, voiced imagery. In general, in what language you do not read the pleasure is provided. Idealization of the beloved, ode to his beauty, magnification by his Perfection. But what is interesting the author sees the imperfections of a loved one, but literally forgives them. And nothing can darken the object of affection for him.
