the wood-sled, just starting for the distant market, from the early
farmer's door, where it has lain the summer long, dreaming amid the

we see the farmer's early candle, like a paled star, emitting a lonely

of the summer sky in the water,
Had my eyes dazzled by the shimmering track of beams,
Looked at the fine centrifugal spokes of light round the shape of my head
in the sun-lit water,
Looked on the haze on the hills southward and southwestward,
Looked on the vapour as it flew in fleeces tinged with violet,
Looked toward the lower bay to notice the arriving ships,
Saw their approach, saw aboard those that were near me,
Saw the white sails of schooners and sloops, saw the ships at anchor,
The sailors at work in the rigging, or out astride the spars.

Horace - Odes, Carmen |

Diving swans appear
Above the crystal circlings white and clear;
And catch the cheated eye in wild surprise,
How they can dive in sight and unseen rise--
So from the turf
outsprang
two steeds jet-black,
Each with large dark blue wings upon his back.

in all our amazed breasts; and Laocoon, men say, hath fulfilled his

Like as some dream thy soul did grieve:
God wounds thee, heals thee whole again,
And calls thee

Pushkin - Queen of Spades |

You descended through the water clear
I drowned my self so in your glance
The soldier passes she leans down
Turns and breaks away a branch
You float on
nocturnal
waves
The flame is my own heart reversed
Coloured as that comb's tortoiseshell
The wave that bathes you mirrors well
?

Will make him fly an

Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.
