Read any poem by William Blake. He writes short poems, written in very simple English - so they are not at all challenging to understand.

The Phoenix series presocratics, I have purchased all of the volumes. Its pretty much all fragments, doxographia and translator's commentary. Very fine books. Expensive though. I feel like I'm reading holy scripture when I'm reading the Greek philosophers even when I disagree with them.
