But even as I bending looked, I saw
The roses were not; and, instead, there lay
Pale,
feathered
flakes and scentless
Ashes upon your hair!

Omar Khayyam - Rubaiyat |

The fire of Love burns in my thoughts so
That desire, always sweet and deep,
And its pains a certain savour bring,
And gentler its flame the more the passion:
For Love
requires
his friends to belong
To truth, frankness, faith, mercy and more,
For, at his court, pride fails while flattery's harmless.

Aristophanes |
|
The air is laden, moist, and warm
With the dying tempest's breath;
And, as I walk the lonely strand
With sea-weed strewn, my forehead fanned
By wet salt-winds, I watch the breakers,
Furious sporting, tossed and tumbling,
Shatter here with a
dreadful
rumbling--
Watch, and muse, and vainly listen
To the inarticulate mumbling
Of the hoary-headed deep;
For who may tell me what it saith,
Muttering, moaning as in sleep?

THIS first Book proposes first in brief the whole Subject, Mans
disobedience, and the loss
thereupon
of Paradise wherein he was plac't:
Then touches the prime cause of his fall, the Serpent, or rather Satan
in the Serpent; who revolting from God, and drawing to his side many
Legions of Angels, was by the command of God driven out of Heaven with
all his Crew into the great Deep.
