The earth does not exhibit itself nor refuse to exhibit itself,
possesses still underneath,
Underneath the
ostensible
sounds, the august chorus of heroes, the
wail of slaves,
Persuasions of lovers, curses, gasps of the dying, laughter of young
people, accents of bargainers,
Underneath these possessing words that never fall.

In the

these floating animals are wonderful
I envy their candour their inexperience
Your inexperience on the bed of waters
Finds the road of love without bowing
By the road of ways

your laughter at the crowd of women
and your tears no one wants.

And joyful in a mother's

Round the wide world are sought those men divine
Who public structures raise, or who design;
Those to whose eyes the gods their ways reveal,
Or bless with salutary arts to heal;
But chief to poets such respect belongs,
By rival nations courted for their songs;
These states invite, and mighty kings admire,
Wide as the sun

his vital fire.

Much as brave Jason by the Colchian shore,
Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender soldiers from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To
vanquish
so fecund a progeny,
Arming themselves in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.

Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The

And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips

The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect

Marvell - Poems |
|
You surely come back at last,
In things best known to you finding the best, or as good as the best,
In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest;
Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place--not for another
hour, but this hour;
Man in the first you see or touch--always in friend, brother, nighest
neighbour--Woman in mother, sister, wife;
The popular tastes and employments taking
precedence
in poems or anywhere,
You workwomen and workmen of these States having your own divine and strong
life,
And all else giving place to men and women like you.

Great is the quality of Truth in man;
The quality of truth in man
supports
itself through all changes;
It is inevitably in the man--he and it are in love, and never leave each
other.

You ask again, do the healing days close up
The open darkness which then drew us in,
The dark that
swallows
all, and nought throws up.

Soft-curling tendrils,
Swim backwards from our image:
We are a red bulk,
Projecting
the angular city, in shadows, at our feet.

And what the City Faction dare,
And what the Gallique arms will do,
And what the quiverbearing foe,

Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association |
|
Such is thy name with this my verse entwined;
And long as kinder eyes a look shall cast
On Harold's page, Ianthe's here enshrined
Shall thus be first beheld, forgotten last:
My days once numbered, should this homage past
Attract thy fairy fingers near the lyre
Of him who hailed thee, loveliest as thou wast,
Such is the most my memory may desire;
Though more than Hope can claim, could
Friendship
less require?
