And the base pageant[477] last upon the scene,
Are grown the pretext for the eternal thrall

the nymphs, which now had flowers their fill,
Ran all in haste to see that silver brood
As they came floating on the crystal flood;
Whom when they saw, they stood amazed still
Their wondering eyes to fill;
Them seem'd they never saw a sight so fair
Of fowls, so lovely, that they sure did deem
Them heavenly born, or to be that same pair
Which through the sky draw Venus' silver team;
For sure they did not seem
To be begot of any earthly seed,
But rather angels, or of angels' breed;
Yet were they bred of summer's heat, they say,
In sweetest season, when each flower and weed
The earth did fresh array;
So fresh they seem'd as day,
Even as their bridal day, which was not long:
Sweet Thames!

The roaring dell, o'erwooded, narrow, deep,
And only speckled by the mid-day sun;
Where its slim trunk the ash from rock to rock
Flings arching like a bridge--that branchless ash,
Unsunned

Ne'er tremble in the gale, yet tremble still,

And you, his sister
you who one day
- (that gulf open
since his death
that follows us
to our own -
when we
your mother and I
have
vanished
there)
must, one day,
unite us all
three in your thoughts,
your memory.

Mallarme - Poems |

--Et regarde filer de son cigare en feu,
Comme aux soirs de Saint-Cloud, un fin nuage bleu
LE MAL
Tandis que les crachats rouges de la mitraille
Sifflent
tout le jour par l'infini du ciel bleu;
Qu'ecarlates ou verts, pres du Roi qui les raille,
Croulent les bataillons en masse dans le feu;
Tandis qu'une folie epouvantable, broie
Et fait de cent milliers d'hommes un tas fumant;
--Pauvres morts!

Catullus - Carmina |

Is of another temper, and I roam
By Thrasimene's lake, in the defiles
Fatal to Roman rashness, more at home;
For there the Carthaginian's warlike wiles
Come back before me, as his skill beguiles
The host between the
mountains
and the shore,
Where Courage falls in her despairing files,
And torrents, swoll'n to rivers with their gore,
Reek through the sultry plain, with legions scattered o'er,
