Then strode the brute Earl up and down his hall,
And took his russet beard between his teeth;
Last, coming up quite close, and in his mood
Crying, 'I count it of no more avail,
Dame, to be gentle than ungentle with you;
Take my salute,'
unknightly
with flat hand,
However lightly, smote her on the cheek.

Certitude
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
If I hear you I'm sure to understand you
If you smile it's the better to enter me
If you smile I will see the world entire
If I embrace you it's to widen myself
If we live everything will turn to joy
If I leave you we'll
remember
each other
In leaving you we'll find each other again.

scit bene quid fati prouida cantet auis;
tuque regis sortis, per te praesentit haruspex,
lubrica signauit cum deus exta notis;
te duce Romanos numquam frustrata Sibylla,
abdita quae senis fata canit pedibus.

in a pool,
An old crab with barnacles on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.
