Not now are we one of these spacious and haughty States, (nor any five, nor
ten;)
Nor market nor depot are we, nor money-bank in the city;
But these, and all, and the brown and spreading land, and the mines below,
are ours;
And the shores of the sea are ours, and the rivers great and small;
And the fields they moisten are ours, and the crops, and the fruits are
ours;
Bays and channels, and ships sailing in and out, are ours--and we over all,
Over the area spread below, the three
millions
of square miles--the
capitals,
The thirty-five millions of people--O bard!

Now when, declining from the noon of day,
The sun obliquely shoots his burning ray;
When hungry judges soon the sentence sign, 85
And wretches hang that jurymen may dine;
When merchants from th' Exchange return in peace,
And the long labours of the toilet cease,
The board's with cups and spoons, alternate, crowned,
The berries crackle, and the mill turns round; 90
On shining altars of Japan they raise
The silver lamp, and fiery spirits blaze:
From silver spouts the
grateful
liquors glide,
While China's earth receives the smoking tide.

Division from the soul, without decay
And obscene stench, how canst thou doubt but that
The soul, uprisen from the body's deeps,
Has filtered away, wide-drifted like a smoke,
Or that the changed body crumbling fell
With ruin so entire, because, indeed,
Its deep foundations have been moved from place,
The soul out-filtering even through the frame,

Epic of Gilgamesh |

"
And would it have been worth it, after all,
Would it have been worth while,
After the sunsets and the

and the sprinkled streets,
After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the
floor--
And this, and so much more?

As I waited, behold, there came

From the window I look out
To mark thy beautiful parade,
Stately
marching
in cap and coat
To some tune by fairies played;--
A music heard by thee alone
To works as noble led thee on.

So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move
Behind me, and drew me

And a voice said in mastery, while I strove,--
"Guess now who holds thee!

Wherefore my cheeks before their time are wan,
For very weeping is my

Sorrow has paled my young mouth's vermilion,
And Ruin draws the curtains of my bed.

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |

Of her sands
Let Lybia vaunt no more: if Jaculus,
Pareas and Chelyder be her brood,
Cenchris and Amphisboena, plagues so dire
Or in such numbers
swarming
ne'er she shew'd,
Not with all Ethiopia, and whate'er
Above the Erythraean sea is spawn'd.
