Beside the incense-burning altars slain,
Drops down the yearling calf, from out its breast
Breathing warm streams of blood; the orphaned mother,
Ranging meanwhile green woodland pastures round,
Knows well the footprints, pressed by cloven hoofs,
With eyes regarding every spot about,
For sight
somewhere
of youngling gone from her;
And, stopping short, filleth the leafy lanes
With her complaints; and oft she seeks again
Within the stall, pierced by her yearning still.

Being's tide
Swells hitherward, and myriads of forms
Live, robed with beauty, painted by the sun;
Their dust, pervaded by the nerves of God,
Throbs with an
overmastering
energy
Knowing and doing.

Emerson - Poems |
|
Oh, never the mast-high run of the seas
Of traffic shall hide thee,
Never the hell-colored smoke of the factories
Hide thee,
Never the reek of the time's fen-politics
Hide thee,
And ever my heart through the night shall with
knowledge
abide thee,
And ever by day shall my spirit, as one that hath tried thee,
Labor, at leisure, in art, -- till yonder beside thee
My soul shall float, friend Sun,
The day being done.

Again, why see we
lavished
o'er the lands
At spring the rose, at summer heat the corn,
The vines that mellow when the autumn lures,
If not because the fixed seeds of things
At their own season must together stream,
And new creations only be revealed
When the due times arrive and pregnant earth
Safely may give unto the shores of light
Her tender progenies?

Death, I cry out at your harshness,
That stole my girl away from me,
Yet you're not
satisfied
I see
Until I languish in distress.

Huge sea-wood fed with copper
Burned green and orange, framed by the

In which sad light a carved dolphin swam.

His turban has fallen from his forehead,
To assist him the bystanders started--
His mouth foams, his face
blackens
horrid--
See the Renegade's soul has departed.

come fast,
I mix the present with the past,
And each seems uglier than the last.

The Immediate Life
What's become of you why this white hair and pink
Why this forehead these eyes rent apart heart-rending
The great
misunderstanding
of the marriage of radium
Solitude chases me with its rancour.
