While yet incessantly asking, still I adhere to my city;
Day upon day, and year upon year, O city, walking your streets,
Where you hold me enchained a certain time, refusing to give me up,
Yet giving to make me glutted, enriched of soul--you give me for ever

O I see what I sought to escape, confronting, reversing my cries;
I see my own soul trampling down what it asked for.

and when ladies retired from the table, and the wine

which he often did with much humour, the charms of woman; even when he

thought that we deserved success in war, whether right or wrong.

Oh, Master--I, like thee, have wandered oft
Where mighty trees made arches high aloft,
But ever with a consciousness of strife,
A surging
struggle
of the inner life.

An' aye was guid to me an' mine;
An' now my dying charge I gie him,
My

Were wont to rive steele plates, and helmets hew,
Were cleane consum'd, and all his vitall powres
Decayd, and all his flesh shronk up like
withered

Thus they talked of their skill and their labour till noon
When the sober man's toil was exactly half done,
And there the plough lay--people hardly could pass
And the horses let loose
polished
up the short grass
And browsed on the bottle of flags lying there,
By the gipsey's old budget, for mending a chair.

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |

If I sigh through the window when Jerry
The ploughman goes by, I grow bold;
And if I'm
disposed
to be merry,
My parents do nothing but scold;
And Jerry the clown, and no other,
Eer cometh to marry or woo;
They think me the moral of mother
And judge me a terrible shrew.

Kipling - Poems |

Nor was his name unheard or unador'd
In ancient Greece; and in Ausonian land
Men call'd him Mulciber; and how he fell 740
From Heav'n, they fabl'd, thrown by angry Jove
Sheer o're the Chrystal Battlements: from Morn
To Noon he fell, from Noon to dewy Eve,
A Summers day; and with the setting Sun
Dropt from the Zenith like a falling Star,
On Lemnos th' Aegaean Ile: thus they relate,
Erring; for he with this rebellious rout
Fell long before; nor aught avail'd him now
To have built in Heav'n high Towrs; nor did he scape
By all his Engins, but was headlong sent 750
With his
industrious
crew to build in hell.
