But to the door that fair shape came:
The hour had struck, the way was right,
Traced by her lamp's pale,
flickering
light.

Not all the streams that water the bright earth,
Not all the trees to which its breast gives birth,
Can cooling drop or healing balm impart
To slack the fire which
scorches
my sad heart,
As one fair brook which ever weeps with me,
Or, which I praise and sing, as one dear tree.

Petrarch - Poems |
|
The mother at home quietly placing the dishes on the supper-table,
The mother with mild words, clean her cap and gown, a wholesome
odor falling off her person and clothes as she walks by,
The father, strong, self-sufficient, manly, mean, anger'd, unjust,
The blow, the quick loud word, the tight bargain, the crafty lure,
The family usages, the language, the company, the furniture, the
yearning
and swelling heart,
Affection that will not be gainsay'd, the sense of what is real, the
thought if after all it should prove unreal,
The doubts of day-time and the doubts of night-time, the curious
whether and how,
Whether that which appears so is so, or is it all flashes and specks?

Tattiana, dim with tears her eyes,
Attentive listened to his speech,
All breathless and without replies.
