out his fan, this bird,
Whose plumage drags on earth, I fear,
Appears more lovely than before,
But makes his derriere appear.

A clump of bushes stands--a clump of hazels,
Upon their very top there sits an eagle,
And upon the bushes' top--upon the hazels,
Compress'd within his claw he holds a raven,
And its hot blood he
sprinkles
on the dry ground;
And beneath the bushes' clump--beneath the hazels,
Lies void of life the good and gallant stripling;
All wounded, pierc'd and mangled is his body.

Artlessly conquering by--force of a

Afterward decked out his couple in mute masquerade: lionskin

Wiry stiff hair of the hero larded with blossoms, a distaff
Laid in his fist, to conform strength to the dalliance of love.

And murmurs musical and swift jug jug,
And one low piping sound more sweet than all--
Stirring the air with such an harmony,

To corner of the hall where darkness reigns;

Howling harsh shrieking, mingling their bodies pain in burning anguish
Mingling his horrible brightness with her tender limbs; then high she soar'd *
ShriekingAbove the ocean; a bright wonder that Beulah shudder'd atNature *
Half Woman & half Spectre, all his lovely changing colours mix *
With her fair crystal clearness; in her lips & cheeks his poisons rose *
In blushes like the morning, and his scaly armour softening *
A monster lovely in the heavens or wandering on the earth, *
With Spectre voice incessant waiting, in incessant thirst>
Beauty all blushing with desire mocking her fell despair>
Wandering desolate, a wonder abhorr'd by Gods & Men

The street-lamps of the ocean; and behold,
O'erhead the banners of the night unfold;
The day hath passed into the land of dreams.

Iliad - Pope |

Death
only consolation
exists, thoughts - balm
but what is done
is done - we cannot
return to the absolute
contained in death -
- and yet
to show that if,
life once abstracted,
the happiness of being
together, all that - such
consolation in its turn
has its root - its base -
absolute - in what
(if we wish
for example a
dead being to live in
us, thought -
is his being, his
thought in effect)
ever he has of the best
that transpires, through our
love and the care
we take
of being -
(being, being
simply moral and
about thought)
there is in that a
magnificent beyond
that
rediscovers
its
truth - so much
purer and lovelier than
the absolute rupture
of death - become
little by little as illusory
as absolute ( so we're
allowed to seem
to forget the pain)
- as this illusion
of survival in
us, becomes absolutely
illusory - (there is
unreality in both
cases) has been terrible
and true
