So his good shield is nothing worth at all,
Shatters the boss, was fashioned of crystal,
One half of it

Right to the flesh has through his hauberk torn,
On his good spear he has the carcass caught.

'Twas at the season when the Earth
upsprings
_240
From slumber, as a sphered angel's child,
Shadowing its eyes with green and golden wings,
Stands up before its mother bright and mild,
Of whose soft voice the air expectant seems--
So stood before the sun, which shone and smiled _245
To see it rise thus joyous from its dreams,
The fresh and radiant Earth.

Khalil Gibran - Poems |
|
Along the reaches of the street
Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight
shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

Eliot - Rhapsody on a Windy Night |

A washed-out
smallpox
cracks her face,
Her hand twists a paper rose,
That smells of dust and old Cologne,
She is alone With all the old nocturnal smells
That cross and cross across her brain.

On the pinions of air I would fly, I would rush
Thro' the glens and the valleys to quiver;
Past the
mountain
ravine, past the grove's dreamy hush,
And the murmuring fall of the river.

Thoreau - Excursions and Poems |
|
Might but Thy sense flash down the skies
Like man's from clime to clime,
Thou would'st not let me agonize
Through my remaining time;
But, seeing how much Thy
creatures
bear--
Lame, starved, or maimed, or blind--
Thou'dst heal the ills with quickest care
Of me and all my kind.
