The betrothal of hearts, when spirits unite,
Creating an offspring of joy, a treasure
Unknown to the bad, for whom
The gods foredoom
The glitter of pleasure

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.

Neighbor East, come over West;
Pledge me in good wine and words
While I count my hundred herds,
Sum the substance of my Past
From the first unto the last,
Chanting o'er the generous brim
Cloudy memories yet more dim,
Ghostly rhymes of Norsemen pale
Staring by old Bjoerne's sail,
Strains more noble of that night
Worn Columbus saw his Light,
Psalms of still more heavenly tone,
How the Mayflower tossed alone,
Olden tale and later song
Of the Patriot's love and wrong,
Grandsire's ballad, nurse's hymn --
Chanting o'er the

Till I shall from first to last
Sum the substance of my Past.

There, O swift and terrible
Being, wast thou born; and thence,
Like a demon loosed from hell,
Stripped with rending wings the dense
Echoing forests, till their bowed
Plumes of trees like tattered cloud
Were toss'd and torn, and cried aloud
As the wood were rack'd with pain:
Thence thou freed'st thy wings, and soon
From the moaning, stricken plain
In whorled eagle-soarings rose
To melt the sun-defeating snows
Of the Mountains of the Moon,
To dull their
glaciers
with fierce breath,
To slip the avalanches' rein,
To set the laughing torrents free
On the tented desert beneath,
Where men of thirst must wither and die
While the vultures stare in the sun's eye;
Where slowly sifting sands are strown
On broken cities, whose bleaching bones
Whiten in moonlight stone on stone.

Euripides - Electra |
|
She ransacks mines and ledges
And
quarries
every rock,
To hew the famous adamant
For each eternal block--
She lays her beams in music,
In music every one,
To the cadence of the whirling world
Which dances round the sun--
That so they shall not be displaced
By lapses or by wars,
But for the love of happy souls
Outlive the newest stars.

Virgil - Eclogues |

Comme Moise le rocher,
--Et je ferai de ta paupiere,
Pour abreuver mon Sahara,
Jaillir les eaux de la souffrance,
Mon desir gonfle d'esperance
Sur tes pleurs sales nagera
Comme un
vaisseau
qui prend le large,
Et dans mon coeur qu'ils souleront
Tes chers sanglots retentiront
Comme un tambour qui bat la charge!

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |
|
The King of Poland was but simple knight,
Yet now, for once, had strange
unwonted
right,
And, as exception to the common state,
This one Sarmatian King was held as great
As German Emperor; and each knew how
His evil part to play, nor mercy show.

Rimbaud - Poesie Completes |

The
reminiscence
comes
Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And cocktail smells in bars.
