Subject - Dance

Have a look also at the poems about Music.

Poetry is an echo asking a show dancer to be a partner. - Carl Sandburg

Tarantella by Hilaire Belloc
The Children Dancing by Laurence Binyon
For here is all heart-easing,
An ecstasy at play.
The Lobster Quadrille by Lewis Carroll
Will you, won't you, join the dance?
Carmen de Boheme by Hart Crane
I cannot dance upon my Toes by Emily Dickinson
the desire to possess an ability one lacks . . . .
Gratiana Dancing and Singing by Richard Lovelace
Imogen by Henry Newbolt
Imogen's dancing embodies the grace, beauty, and evanescence of youth
Javanese Dancers by Arthur Symons
Danse Russe by William Carlos Williams
an image of Williams celebrating life with an improvised dance

The subject indexes are a wonderful way to browse Poets' Corner, leading you to works you might not find any other way. I hope also that they can help the site to seem less overwhelming than it might at first. If you have suggestions or comments about the Subject Indicies please contact Jon Lachelt.

The quotes from Carl Sandburg on the heading of some of the subject pages are from his book of poems, Good Morning America.
