They battle it beyond the wall, and not 60
As in late
midnight
conflict in the very
Chambers: the palace has become a fortress
Since that insidious hour; and here, within
The very centre, girded by vast courts
And regal halls of pyramid proportions,
Which must be carried one by one before
They penetrate to where they then arrived,
We are as much shut in even from the sound
Of peril as from glory.

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast,
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest,
And in his
thoughts
of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thy self away, art present still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them, and they with thee;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart, to heart's and eye's delight.

Bounded on the Danube, in Africa,
Among the tribes along the Thames' shore,
And where the rising sun ascends in flame,
Her own nurslings stirred, in
mutinous
game
Against her very self, the spoils of war,
So dearly won from all the world before,
That same world's spoil suddenly became:
So when the Great Year its course has run,
And twenty six thousand years are done,
The elements freed from Nature's accord,
Those seeds that are the source of everything,
Will return in Time to their first discord,
Chaos' eternal womb their presence hiding.

Mount Venus, Jupiter, and all the rest
Are finger-tips of ranges
clasping
round
And holding up the Romany's wide sky.

Thomas Hardy - Poems of the Past and Present |
|
In sacred shade his honour'd mansion stood
Amidst Apollo's
consecrated
wood;
Him, and his house, Heaven moved my mind to save,
And costly presents in return he gave;
Seven golden talents to perfection wrought,
A silver bowl that held a copious draught,
And twelve large vessels of unmingled wine,
Mellifluous, undecaying, and divine!

Odyssey - Pope |
|
saepe fui mendax pro te mihi, saepe notaui
alba procellosos uela referre notos;
Thesea deuoui, quia te dimittere nollet:
nec tenuit cursus forsitan ille tuos;
interdum timui, ne, dum uada tendis ad Hebri,
mersa foret cana naufraga puppis aqua;
saepe deos adiens, ut tu, scelerate, ualeres,
cum prece turicremis sum uenerata sacris;
saepe, uidens uentos caelo
pelagoque
fauentis,
ipsa mihi dixi 'si ualet ille, uenit';
denique fidus amor, quidquid properantibus obstat,
finxit, et ad causas ingeniosa fui.

that they were so surprised, not

Porches untrod of forest houses
All before him, all day long,
"Yankee Doodle" his
marching
song;
And the evening breeze
Joined his psalms of praise
As he sang the ways
Of the Ancient of Days.
