Quoting accountant: by Edgar Allan Poe

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe is classic of world poetry indeed, but the question for this topic was very clear - who are your favorite 25 best world poets?
So, accountant, can we see your list?

Good choice, accountant, congratulations!
I'm just wondering, are you so big fan of Pablo Neruda to add him twice at you list?

I love the peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo...Los heraldos negros is an amazing piece of writing...I am sorry I don´t have the translation to english but I can´t resist sharing it:
Hay golpes en la vida, tan fuertes... Yo no sé!
Golpes como del odio de Dios; como si ante ellos,
la resaca de todo lo sufrido
se empozara en el alma... Yo no sé!
Son pocos; pero son... Abren zanjas oscuras
en el rostro más fiero y en el lomo más fuerte.
Serán tal vez los potros de bárbaros atilas;
o los heraldos negros que nos manda la Muerte.
Son las caÃdas hondas de los Cristos del alma
de alguna fe adorable que el Destino blasfema.
Esos golpes sangrientos son las crepitaciones
de algún pan que en la puerta del horno se nos quema.
Y el hombre... Pobre... pobre! Vuelve los ojos, como
cuando por sobre el hombro nos llama una palmada;
vuelve los ojos locos, y todo lo vivido
se empoza, como charco de culpa, en la mirada.
Hay golpes en la vida, tan fuertes... Yo no sé!

Haven't we been supposed to make LISTS of our favourite poets here, not to post poetry? We already have several poetry threads (like Informal Poetry and I Love You Poem). This one was meant for something else... please go and see the similar thread about prose here - we listed our favourite novels and had a small discussion about writers and reading. We were not posting novels.
Anyway, I thought it was kind of a rule on this site to post original text with translation to English or Turkish (or both). I liked the poem you posted, but I also think if we don't keep our threads tidy, we will not have right to protest if our admins decide to remove or even delete them.
