Where flowering trees
Many-tinted,

All alike abound
With honey,--
With a swell

From a shadowed dell
To the hill-tops sunny,--
With a thunder
Like the ocean when in strength
Breadth and length
It sets to shore;

Waves on waves redoubled pour
Leaping flashing to the shore

A washed-out smallpox cracks her face,
Her hand twists a paper rose,
That smells of dust and old Cologne,
She is alone With all the old
nocturnal
smells
That cross and cross across her brain.

Even
here it is only gentle and shy at first like the
stirring
of a breath of
wind over a quiet sea; and gentle beings make this first gesture,
children and young women at play, singing, dancing or at prayer.

Dickinson - Two - Complete |
|
For slowly on a wandering course it comes
And
perishes
sooner, by degrees absorbed
Easily into all the winds of air;--
And first, because from deep inside the thing
It is discharged with labour (for the fact
That every object, when 'tis shivered, ground,
Or crumbled by the fire, will smell the stronger
Is sign that odours flow and part away
From inner regions of the things).

Pope - Essay on Man |
|
When my eyes are closed
Faces fragile, pale, yet flushed a little, like petals of roses :
If these things have confused my
memories
of her So that I could not draw her face
Even if I had skill and the colours,
Yet because her face is so like these things
They but draw me nearer unto her in my thought
And thoughts of her come upon my mind gently, As dew upon the petals of roses.
