EXISTENCE AND CHARACTER OF THE IMAGES
But since I've taught already of what sort
The seeds of all things are, and how distinct
In divers forms they flit of own accord,
Stirred with a motion everlasting on,
And in what mode things be from them create,
And since I've taught what the mind's nature is,
And of what things 'tis with the body knit
And thrives in strength, and by what mode uptorn
That mind returns to its primordials,
Now will I
undertake
an argument--
One for these matters of supreme concern--
That there exist those somewhats which we call
The images of things: these, like to films
Scaled off the utmost outside of the things,
Flit hither and thither through the atmosphere,
And the same terrify our intellects,
Coming upon us waking or in sleep,
When oft we peer at wonderful strange shapes
And images of people lorn of light,
Which oft have horribly roused us when we lay
In slumber--that haply nevermore may we
Suppose that souls get loose from Acheron,
Or shades go floating in among the living,
Or aught of us is left behind at death,
When body and mind, destroyed together, each
Back to its own primordials goes away.

Along the beech-grove, nearly to the bower,
And see within the silent meadow yonder,
The almond tree a second time in flower.

With heavy sighs I often hear
You mourn my hapless woe;
But sure with
patience
I can bear
A loss I ne'er can know.

Khalil Gibran - Poems |
|
And now the gods were minded to bring home the man--
That
wandered
wondrous far, when he the town
Of sacred Troy had sacked and shivered down;
The cities of a world of nations
With all their manners, minds, and fashions
He was and knew; at sea felt many woes,
Much care sustained to save from overthrows
Himself and friends in their retreat for home;
But so their fates he could not overcome.

Then, far and near, as the
twilight
drew,
Hissed up to the scornful dark
Great serpents, blazing, of red and blue,
That rose and faded, and rose anew.

Up, gird thee now to the steep
Isthmian
way,
Seeking Athena's blessed rock; one day,
Thy doom of blood fulfilled and this long stress
Of penance past, thou shalt have happiness.

Euripides - Electra |
|
Les morts, les pauvres morts ont de grandes douleurs,
Et quand Octobre souffle, emondeur des vieux arbres,
Son vent melancolique a, l'entour de leurs marbres,
Certe, ils doivent trouver les vivants bien ingrats,
De dormir, comme ils font,
chaudement
dans leurs draps,
Tandis que, devores de noires songeries,
Sans compagnon de lit, sans bonnes causeries,
Vieux squelettes geles travailles par le ver,
Ils sentent s'egoutter les neiges de l'hiver
Et le siecle couler, sans qu'amis ni famille
Remplacent les lambeaux qui pendent a leur grille.
