poems studied in high school

The poem is about a man who falls in love with a woman and she says for him to prove his love to her he is to bring to her his Mothers head upon a plate. After cutting his mothers head off he is running to his lady to show her and he trips, the head rolls down the hill and as he picks up the head the head asks "Did you hurt yourself my dear" I would love to find a copy of this poem.

I'm trying to think of some poems my class studied in high school. I'm not sure if it was american lit or british lit. Basically any poems that surround courtly love. I specifically remember reading William Shakespeares sonnet 130 "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" because that poem somewhat mocked every one elses. There's also another peom i remember, don't know the guy's name but he was obsessed with this woman but she wasn't feeling him and he didn't care. He sent her flowers, but she sent them back and he was happy b/c at least she breathed on them. He wanted to keep the her cup b./c her lips touched it......anybody good with literature or poetry please help.

What are the books that you should have read before you finish high school??? It's VERY important, please answer!!! If you are a student, just tell me which book you're studying now/studied last. They can be poems or stories too, not necessarily novels, but I would be pleased if they were novels. PLEASE HELP ME; I NEED TO KNOW THIS; DON'T ASK WHY!!!! Thanks.

I'm writing a 4000-word essay on the portrayal of the underworld in various texts, including: Homer's Odyssey Dante's Inferno A collection of T.S.Eliot poems (The Waste Land, Ash Wednesday, The Hollow Men, Gerontion Rhapsody on a Windy Night, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock) The aim of the essay is to establish the differences between the different texts' depiction. There was a point in choosing these texts, that being the fact that Homer, Dante and Eliot were all concerned with each other in terms of their poetic style, their influence and their subject matter. It is also interesting that their works were published in the 9th, 14th and 19th century, respectively, with half a millennium between one and the next. It's clear that Dante's Inferno is punitive while Homer's Underworld is dispirited and sombre. Both of these texts create vivid imagery, not only using physical descriptions, but also incorporating the emotional struggle of the lost souls. Eliot's poems on the other hand, were not written to describe a hero's encounter with the underworld, but to illustrate a 19th century living hell in a time of great desolation. The poems are also in keeping with the combination of physical and emotional representation. I am struggling to put my finger on how to find distinctive connections between the writers and how to structure this entire essay in general. I am also trying hard to be selective with Dante's Inferno and resourceful with Homer's Odyssey. Eliot's poetry is also more abstract than the other two. Literary scholars... I call upon you for aid. P.S. I am in my sixth year of high school studying the IB Diploma Programme and I decided to do my Extended Essay in English. The subject interests me (usually) and I obsessively value the classics. ;) I've studied Milton's vision of Hell in class. Just wanted to broaden my knowledge. I will be sure to read a bit about Blake and the notion of 'hell' in general.
