labour continually, turning lead into gold, weariness into ecstasy,

To fell the giant at one vengeful blow,

Full on his shoulder the rude weight descends;
The sage Ulysses, fearful to disclose
The hero latent in the man of woes,
Check'd half his might; yet rising to the stroke,
His jawbone dash'd, the

Down dropp'd he stupid from the stunning wound;

XXIII
Brought by a pedlar vagabond
Unto their solitude one day,
This monument of thought profound
Tattiana
purchased
with a stray
Tome of "Malvina," and but three(56)
And a half rubles down gave she;
Also, to equalise the scales,
She got a book of nursery tales,
A grammar, likewise Petriads two,
Marmontel also, tome the third;
Tattiana every day conferred
With Martin Zadeka.

which a Russian hostess will turn her house topsy-turvy for
the accommodation of forty or fifty guests would somewhat
astonish the mistress of a modern Belgravian mansion.

Derelict of her true task,
dalliance
offered in love.

"Our fathers
fashioned
for us after all
Some useful things," said Joss; then Zeno spoke:
"I know what Corbus hides beneath its cloak,
I and the osprey know the castle old,
And what in bygone times the justice bold.

The Clown Chastised
Eyes, lakes of my simple passion to be reborn
Other than as the actor who
gestures
with his hand
As with a pen, and evokes the foul soot of the lamps,
Here's a window in the walls of cloth I've torn.
