So Marius looked, methinks, and Cromwell so,
Not in the purple born, to those they led
Nearer for that and costlier to the foe,
New
moulders
of old forms, by nature bred
The exhaustless life of manhood's seeds to show,
Let but the ploughshare of portentous times
Strike deep enough to reach them where they lie;
Despair and danger are their fostering climes,
And their best sun bursts from a stormy sky:
He was our man of men, nor would abate
The utmost due manhood could claim of fate.

native genius, yet have described the exploits of heroes, the pangs of

Seeking my heart; winds have roared and tossed me;
Music in long blue waves of sound has borne me
A

Of terrible warning, sifting the dust of death;

Had been to see gardens
Lying at
impossible
distances.

(Ere War uprose in his

rage),
With braided tresses bounding o'er the green,
While on the gay dance shone Night's lover-loving Queen?

American Poetry - 1922 |

I can't say I am altogether at my ease when I see
anywhere
in my path
that meagre, squalid, famine-faced spectre, Poverty; attended as he
always is, by iron-fisted oppression, and leering contempt; but I have
sturdily withstood his buffetings many a hard-laboured day already,
and still my motto is--I DARE!

Keats - Lamia |

Thus, from day to day,
Bow-bent, his eyes for ever on the ground, [5]
He plies his weary journey; seeing still,
And seldom [6] knowing that he sees, some straw,
Some
scattered
leaf, or marks which, in one track, 55
The nails of cart or chariot-wheel have left
Impressed on the white road,--in the same line,
At distance still the same.

Of his right eye, as you may see,
And Simon to the world is left,
In
