Much as brave Jason by the Colchian shore,
Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender
soldiers
from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To vanquish so fecund a progeny,
Arming themselves in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.

The culture of the hop, with the processes of picking, drying in the
kiln, and packing for the market, as well as the uses to which it is
applied, so
analogous
to the culture and uses of the grape, may afford
a theme for future poets.

Such was the prelude to the tale
Told by the Minstrel; and at times
He paused amid its varying rhymes,
And at each pause again broke in
The music of his violin,
With tones of
sweetness
or of fear,
Movements of trouble or of calm,
Creating their own atmosphere;
As sitting in a church we hear
Between the verses of the psalm
The organ playing soft and clear,
Or thundering on the startled ear.

Thomas Hardy - Poems of the Past and Present |

Let the contentious spirit know
At this hour when we are silent
The stalks of multiple lilies grow
Far too tall for our reason
And not as the riverbank weeps
When its tedious game tells lies
Claiming
abundance
should reach
Into my first surprise
On hearing the whole sky and the map
Behind my steps, without end, bear witness
By the ebbing wave itself that
This country never existed.

That ripples down the

There you may wed, and Heaven shall see't.
