The harmless rabbit gambols with its young
Across the trampled towing-path, where late
A troop of laughing boys in jostling throng
Cheered with their noisy cries the racing eight;
The gossamer, with ravelled silver threads,
Works at its little loom, and from the dusky red-eaved sheds
Of the lone Farm a flickering light shines out
Where the swinked
shepherd
drives his bleating flock
Back to their wattled sheep-cotes, a faint shout
Comes from some Oxford boat at Sandford lock,
And starts the moor-hen from the sedgy rill,
And the dim lengthening shadows flit like swallows up the hill.

But when the happy vintage touch'd their brains,
Louder they talk, and louder come the strains
Of

The space, the splendour of the draperies,
The roof of awful richness, nectarous cheer,
Beautiful slaves, and Lamia's self, appear,
Now, when the wine has done its rosy deed,

No more so strange; for merry wine, sweet wine,

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |
|
And if their force and nature abide the same,
Able to throw the seeds of things together
Into their places, even as here are thrown
The seeds
together
in this world of ours,
'Tmust be confessed in other realms there are
Still other worlds, still other breeds of men,
And other generations of the wild.

Coleridge - Poems |

A newspaper is a collection of half-injustices
Which, bawled by boys from mile to mile,
Spreads its curious opinion
To a million merciful and sneering men,
While
families
cuddle the joys of the fireside
When spurred by tale of dire lone agony.

Quale ne' plenilunii sereni
Trivia ride tra le ninfe etterne
che dipingon lo ciel per tutti i seni,
vid' i' sopra migliaia di lucerne
un sol che tutte quante l'accendea,
come fa 'l nostro le viste superne;
e per la viva luce trasparea
la lucente
sustanza
tanto chiara
nel viso mio, che non la sostenea.

squandered
treasure
More than a red lip with a red tip
And more than a white leg with a white foot
Where then do we think we are?

His lady's purpose; and he scarce could brook
Tears, at the thought of those
enchantments
cold
And Madeline asleep in lap of legends old.
