Against that time, if ever that time come,
When I shall see thee frown on my defects,
When as thy love hath cast his utmost sum,
Call'd to that audit by advis'd respects;
Against that time when thou shalt strangely pass,
And
scarcely
greet me with that sun, thine eye,
When love, converted from the thing it was,
Shall reasons find of settled gravity;
Against that time do I ensconce me here,
Within the knowledge of mine own desert,
And this my hand, against my self uprear,
To guard the lawful reasons on thy part:
To leave poor me thou hast the strength of laws,
Since why to love I can allege no cause.

Baudelaire - Poems and Prose Poems |
|
The reminiscence comes
Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And
cocktail
smells in bars.

To Marc Chagall
Donkey or cow, cockerel or horse
On to the skin of a violin
A singing man a single bird
An agile dancer with his wife
A couple drenched in their youth
The gold of the grass lead of the sky
Separated by azure flames
Of the health-giving dew
The blood
glitters
the heart rings
A couple the first reflection
And in a cellar of snow
The opulent vine draws
A face with lunar lips
That never slept at night.

Not long that music lingers:
Like the breath of
forgotten
singers
It flies,--or like the March-cloud's shadow
That sweeps with its wing the faded meadow
Not long!

And that same rabble,
splitting
for a hedge,
Had joined their rows to cheer the active headsman;
Perchance, in mockery, they'd gird the skull
With a hop-leaf crown!

Chide me not,

band,
For the idle flowers I brought;
Every aster in my hand
Goes home loaded with a thought.

She would have smiled, if the flower
That never bloomed, to please,
Could open to the coolest hour
Of passing and
forgetful

19th Century French Poetry |
|
Hearing, their fluttered hearts
Take courage, and they wheel in their dark flight,
Knowing that their toil is over, dreaming to see
The white
stubbles
of Abruzzi smitten with dawn,
And spilt grain lying in the furrows, the squandered gold
That is the delight of quails in their spring mating.

To examine these in turn: the first admits of no denial as a question
of fact, but
justification
may be pleaded which some will accept as a
complete exculpation and others perhaps will hardly comprehend.
