What are some poets that right about beauty, beauty of life - who's prose is uplifting and makes you want to live ?
To my great shame I have only ever read pic rel, and subsequently forgotten every verse (when I was a child I could recite at least a couple)

>prose
Just as a note, OP: "prose" is by definition not poetry. Anyway, to answer your question, one of my favorite poems is Tennyson's Ulysses, which is a very life-affirming poem. Here's a link: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ulysses_(Tennyson)

Whoops, wrong picture. (Though Donne also has some great poems.)

I've been reading a lot of sufist (attar and rumit) and medieval epic poetry (nibelungenlied and some old english)
Klages also wrote some decent poetry I was reading earlier this year
