John Clare was an English poet, son of a farm labourer, who became known for his celebrations of the English countryside and sorrows at its disruption.
Octavio Paz Lozano was a Mexican poet and diplomat. He was awarded the 1981 Miguel de Cervantes Prize, the 1982 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, and the 1990 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Early in Wilde’s career he wrote more poetry than anything else, and ‘Easter Day’ is one of his finest verses – a nice sonnet about Rome on Easter Day.
