  Reading poetry brings people from different places and

  

  different times together. More than any other form of literature, poetry plays with sounds, words and grammar. That makes poetry difficult to write, but very interesting to read. Poetry also calls up all the colours, feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.

   Despite its short history, there is a lot of good English poetry around. The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand. Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare, towards the end of the 16th century. The 17th century was a great time for English poetry. Shakespeare is famous for his plays. His sonnets (十四行诗), however, belong to the best English poetry. In the next generation of great English poets, we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo. Before the end of the century,there was another famous writer,John Milton. Once published, his works became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line. In the 18th century, it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England.

   The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the 19th century. Greatly loved in China are the English romantic poets. The style and atmosphere in poems by William Wordsworth,George Gordon Byron and John Keats have often led us to think of some poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.

Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use. Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost.
