The merry are the men of
pleasure of all denominations; the jovial lads, who have too much fire
and spirit to have any settled rule of action; but, without much
deliberation, follow the strong impulses of nature: the thoughtless,
the careless, the indolent--in particular _he_ who, with a happy
sweetness of natural temper, and a cheerful vacancy of thought, steals
through life--generally, indeed, in poverty and obscurity; but poverty
and obscurity are only evils to him who can sit gravely down and make
a repining comparison between his own situation and that of others;
and lastly, to grace the quorum, such are, generally, those whose
heads are capable of all the
towerings
of genius, and whose hearts are
warmed with all the delicacy of feeling.

appeared in 1570,--in which the famous cities of "Norumbega" and

Cette femme, morceau vraiment miraculeux,
Divinement
robuste, adorablement mince,
Est faite pour troner sur des lits somptueux,
Et charmer les loisirs d'un pontife ou d'un prince.

And I have ceased to wonder why;

In the fair

THE BOOK OF PICTURES
PRESAGING
I am like a flag
unfurled
in space,
I scent the oncoming winds and must bend with them,
While the things beneath are not yet stirring,
While doors close gently and there is silence in the chimneys
And the windows do not yet tremble and the dust is still heavy--
Then I feel the storm and am vibrant like the sea
And expand and withdraw into myself
And thrust myself forth and am alone in the great storm.

Not anything you do can make you mine,
For

with equal charity
In duty as in love elect will shine,
The constant slave of mutability.
