Art thou a visionary of Jesus the soft delusion of Eternity

The Spectre is the Man the rest is only delusion & fancy
So spoke the Prince of Light & sat beside the Seat of Los

Ten thousand thousand glittering Chariots shining in the sky:

And lowing steers that hollow echoes wake
Around the yard, their nightly fast to break,
As from each barn the lumping flail rebounds
In mingling concert with the rural sounds;
While oer the distant fields more faintly creep
The murmuring bleatings of unfolding sheep,
And ploughman's callings that more hoarse proceed
Where industry still urges labour's speed,
The bellowing of cows with udders full
That wait the welcome halloo of "come mull,"
And
rumbling
waggons deafening again,
Rousing the dust along the narrow lane,
And cracking whips, and shepherd's hooting cries,
From woodland echoes urging sharp replies.

Therefore a bad
poet would, I grant, make a false critique, and his self-love would
infallibly bias his little
judgment
in his favor; but a poet, who is
indeed a poet, could not, I think, fail of making-a just critique;
whatever should be deducted on the score of self-love might be replaced
on account of his intimate acquaintance with the subject; in short,
we have more instances of false criticism than of just where one's own
writings are the test, simply because we have more bad poets than good.

To the Curate, when he comes at night

Full of a young man's joy to be
Abroad in the world, alone and free;
Full of

and wonderful scenes
Of hunting the deer through forests vast
In the royal grant of Pierre du Gast;
Of nights in the tents of the Tarratines;

And so soft the tones of their native tongue,

thought Satan, the pasture is good, _45
My Cattle will here thrive better than others;
They dine on news of human blood,
They sup on the groans of the dying and dead,
And
supperless
never will go to bed;
Which will make them fat as their brothers.

Not so a youth, who deals the goblet round,
Full on his shoulder it
inflicts
a wound;
Dash'd from his hand the sounding goblet flies,
He shrieks, he reels, he falls, and breathless lies.

Meredith - Poems |

My good hope is rightly placed,
When she from whom I'd least wish to part,
Shows me her
beauteous
face,
Pure, gentle, noble and true,
A king's salvation she'd prove too,
Lovely, graceful, of pleasing body;
I, with nothing, she renders wealthy.

Poe - 5 |

How, coming with his startled horse,
To where two roads a hollow cross;
Where, lone guide when a
stranger
strays,
A white post points four different ways,
Beside the woodride's lonely gate
A murdering robber lay in wait.
