pour moi:

Charles Baudelaire
Emily Bronte
Ki no Tsurayuki
Edgar Allen Poe
Emily Dickinson
H.P. Lovecraft (if you count prose poetry)
T.S. Eliot
John Donne
William Blake
Elizabeth Barret Browning

meh... I feel like I'm getting too inclusive, so I have to narrow it down to Poe and Bronte.
忍ぶれど色にいでにけりわが恋はものや思ふと人の問ふまで
― 平兼盛

“If I seem to wander, if I seem to stray,
remember that true stories seldom take the straightest way.”
― Kvothe, in The Name of the Wind

What were the use of my creation if I were entirely contained here?

I'm more of a Beat and spoken word kind of guy, but I started out with Poe, Wilde, and Dickinson. Of the three, only Poe makes it onto my favorites list, though.

As for Beat, I love Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.

Spoken word poets I love: Shane Koyczan, Tim Minchin, Sarah Kay, and Taylor Mali.

Some contemporary(?) poets that also make the list: Joshua Mehigan, Jeffrey Yang, and Billy Collins.

You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
