A pebble among other pebbles
For the leaves last glimmers of day

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |

It were better far
To die, and I had rather much be slain,
Than thus to witness your atrocious deeds
Day after day; to see our guests abused,
With blows insulted, and the women dragg'd
With a
licentious
violence obscene
From side to side of all this fair abode.

Euripides - Alcestis |
|
And as in flame
A sparkle is distinct, or voice in voice
Discern'd, when one its even tenour keeps,
The other comes and goes; so in that light
I other luminaries saw, that cours'd
In
circling
motion, rapid more or less,
As their eternal phases each impels.

Pursue the
