Therefore, since to the body avail not riches, avails not
Heraldry's utmost boast, nor the pomp and pride of an empire;
Next shall you own that the mind needs likewise
nothing of these things;
Unless--when, peradventure, your armies over the champaign
Spread with a stir and a ferment and bid War's image awaken,
Or when with stir and with ferment a fleet sails forth upon ocean--
Cowed before these brave sights, pale Superstition abandon
Straightway
your mind as you gaze, Death seem no longer alarming,
Trouble vacate your bosom and Peace hold holiday in you.

So clear and bright, so coldly placid;
It holds you quietly aloof,
It holds,--and yet it does not win you;
It merely puts you to the proof
And sorts what qualities are in you:
It smiles, but never brings you nearer,
It lights,--her nature draws not nigh;
'Tis but that yours is growing clearer 20

Waley - 170 Chinese Poems |
|
O Queens, in vain old Fate decreed
Your flower-like bodies to the tomb;
Death is in truth the vital seed
Of your imperishable bloom
Each new-born year the bulbuls sing
Their songs of your
renascent
loves;
Your beauty wakens with the spring
To kindle these pomegranate groves.

Sarojini Naidu - Golden Threshold |

In
jealousy
of a Hebe's fate
Rising over this cup at your lips' kisses,
I spend my fires with the slender rank of prelate
And won't even figure naked on Sevres dishes.

Mallarme - Poems |
|
Then,
With painful scrambling scratched and raw,
Two hands that seemed like hands of men
Eased down two legs and a body through
The blazing fire, and forth there came
Before our wide and
wondering
view
A figure shrinking half with shame,
And half with weakness.
