A.E.+Housman

===A.E. Housman was a poet, most known for his lyrical writing. "Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act,"(Housman). In other words, poetry effected Housman at all times no matter what he was doing. It was not until Housman was near death that he started writing some of his best poetry. One of Housman's most famous works was // A Shropshire Lad. //The piece was mainly noted for it's lyrical beauty and the way it flowed so gracefully. Most of Housman's poems were about real life problems, that people faced in a day to day basis. Even after his death, Housman continued to inspire musicians and composers alike with his poetry. Many musical pieces were created based off of Housman's work. ===  Be Still, My Soul, Be Still  1887  If Truths In Hearts that Perish
