quickly and truly: the king's own home,

Beowulf, translated by Francis Gummere |

How I adore you, you happy things, you dears
Riding the air and carrying all the time
Your little lanterns behind you: it cheers
My heart to see you
settling
and trying to climb
The cornstalks, tipping with fire their spears.

But at her smile the beau revived again.

Goethe - Erotica Romana |
|
But near the casement wide to the north,
A gold is dying, in accord with the decor
Perhaps, those
unicorns
dashing fire at a nixie,
She who, naked and dead in the mirror, yet
In the oblivion enclosed by the frame, is fixed
As soon by scintillations as the septet.
