Theban mage, druid by the dark menhir,
Flamen by Tiber, Brahmin by the Ganges,
Fitting angelic arrow to godlike bow,
Viewing the haunts of Roland, Achilles,
Powerful mysterious smith, you'd know
How to twine sun-rays to a single flame;
In your soul the sunset met the day;
Yesterday tomorrow in your fertile brain;
You crowned the old art father of the new;
You understood that when an unknown soul
Speaks to a nation, lightning in the clouds,
We must open our hearts, accept, love aloud;
Calm you scorned the vile attempts of those
Who dribbled Shakespeare, drooled Aeschylus;
You knew this age had its own air to breathe,
That art
progresses
by self-transformation,
Beauty's adorned by melding with greatness.

From weary tendrils, and bow'd branches green,
She plucks the fruit unseen, she bathes unseen:

Petrarch - Poems |

Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning
striding
behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Oxford Book of Latin Verse |

The fighting man shall from the sun
Take warmth, and life from the glowing earth;
Speed with the light-foot winds to run,
And with the trees to newer birth;
And find, when fighting shall be done,
Great rest, and
fullness
after dearth.

The streamlets they wander through meadows so fleet,
Their music enticing fond lovers to meet;
The violets are blooming and
nestling
their heads
In richest profusion on moss-coated beds.
