from hate
borne her by the queen,

such as had ne'er been seen'.

Here the performance, disdaining the trivial, unapproached in the
tremendous audacity of its crowds and
groupings
and the push of its
perspective, spreads with crampless and flowing breadth, and showers its
prolific and splendid extravagance.

XXVII
You, by Rome astonished, who gaze here
On ancient pride, once threatening the skies,
These old palaces, where the brave hills rise,
Walls, archways, baths, the temples that appear:
Judge, as you view these ruins, shattered, sere,
All that injurious Time's devoured: the wise
Architect and mason, their plans devise
Still from these fragments, these
patterns
clear:
Then note how Rome, still, from day to day,
Rummaging through her ancient decay,
Renews herself with hosts of sacred things:
You'd think the Roman spirit yet alive,
With destined hands continuing to strive,
That to these dusty ruins, new life brings.

stir to reach out into the larger world "deep into life, out beyond
time.

PONT DU CARROUSEL
Upon the bridge the blind man stands alone,
Gray like a mist veiled monument he towers
As though of nameless realms the
boundary
stone
About which circle distant starry hours.

Her throat was serpent, but the words she spake
Came, as through
bubbling
honey, for Love's sake,
And thus; while Hermes on his pinions lay,
Like a stoop'd falcon ere he takes his prey.
