I'd like to study Victorian poetry more in-depth than what I've been able to scrounge out of college. I know I really enjoy Tennyson (especially Lady of Shalott, which I've read a thousand times and could read a thousand times more). But I'm afraid if it isn't Elizabethean, medieval, or classical, I haven't studied much of it. Except W.B. Yeats. Good God, I love Yeats. No one, not even Shakespeare, has hit me with lyrics so hard as Yeats.

You might also really like Robert Browning (master of the dramatic monologue with really twisted speakers) or Christian Rossetti (whose 'Goblin Market' is really interesting).

I've read only a very little of Yeats, although I think I'll get to him in a few weeks. But I love these lines of his:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
