Flashing thick flames, Wheele within Wheele undrawn,

Of Beril, and careering Fires between;

For wives to use the motions of blandishment;
For thus the woman hinders and resists
Her own conception, if too joyously
Herself she treats the Venus of the man
With haunches heaving, and with all her bosom
Now yielding like the billows of the sea--
Aye, from the ploughshare's even course and track
She throws the furrow, and from proper places
Deflects

For lack there will not who would laud thy deeds,
And treat of

To the slim oaten reed my silvan lay.

the son of Ecgtheow
had passed a plenty, through perils dire,
with daring deeds, till this day was come

Beowulf, translated by Francis Gummere |

But the danger was past--they had landed at last,
With their boxes, portmanteaus, and bags:
Yet at first sight the crew were not pleased with the view,
Which
consisted
of chasms and crags.

XXXIV
Now while the Three were tightening
Their harness on their backs,
The Consul was the
foremost
man
To take in hand an axe:
And Fathers mixed with Commons
Seized hatchet, bar, and crow,
And smote upon the planks above,
And loosed the props below.

Thomas Chatterton - Rowley Poems |

Some day
the few among us, who care for poetry more than any temporal thing,
and who believe that its delights cannot be perfect when we read it
alone in our rooms and long for one to share its delights, but that
they might be perfect in the theatre, when we share them friend with
friend, lover with beloved, will persuade a few
idealists
to seek
out the lost art of speaking, and seek out ourselves the lost art,
that is perhaps nearest of all arts to eternity, the subtle art of
listening.

the shimmering band
