For those who've asked in the DMs - Yes, 99% posted is bought (feel free to ask for pgs./opinions about spec. seforim & will try to accommodate). Strictly personal recommendations, hopes to show richness and depths of Torah & to bring to the fore lesser-known authors/titles.

England’s earliest named poet was Cædmon (7th c., a Northumbrian pashuteh shepherd) who composed religious verse after an inspiring dream; recorded & preserved by Bede (d. 735). One poem belonging to Genesis -a poetic rendering of Avraham’s plea to Hashem- echoes Tar. Yonasan 😎

"יש מפזר ונוסף עוד" אמר ר"א אם ראית אדם מפזר מעותיו לצדקה הוי יודע שנוסף לו שהוא מוסיף שנאמר יש מפזר ונוסף עוד. וחושך מיושר אך למחסור אמר רשב"נ אמר ר"י אם ראית אדם שהוא מונע עצמו מן הצדקה, הוי יודע שהוא מתחסר שנאמר וחושך מיושר אך למחסור.

Rav Shmuel Yaakov Borenstein ztl: The Vilna Gaon was born on Pesach & niftar on Sukkos, like the Amud He'anan, seen only by the Nevi'im from Pesach and by all Yisrael from Sukkos. So too his Torah was known only to his talmidim until his petirah, then spread to all.
