Pindar, like torrent from the steep
Which, swollen with rain, its banks o'erflows,
With mouth unfathomably deep,
Foams, thunders, glows,
All worthy of Apollo's bay,
Whether in dithyrambic roll
Pouring new words he burst away
Beyond control,
Or gods and god-born heroes tell,
Whose arm with
righteous
death could tame
Grim Centaurs, tame Chimaeras fell,
Out-breathing flame,
Or bid the boxer or the steed
In deathless pride of victory live,
And dower them with a nobler meed
Than sculptors give,
Or mourn the bridegroom early torn
From his young bride, and set on high
Strength, courage, virtue's golden morn,
Too good to die.

As Far As My Eye Can See In My Body's Senses
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The
imitation
of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete
Barely Disfigured
Adieu Tristesse

Farewell Sadness

You are inscribed in the lines on the ceiling
You are inscribed in the eyes that I love
You are not poverty absolutely

Du Fu - 5 |

Not the bee upon the blossom,
In the pride o' sunny noon;
Not the little
sporting
fairy,
All beneath the simmer moon;
Not the poet, in the moment
Fancy lightens in his e'e,
Kens the pleasure, feels the rapture,
That thy presence gies to me.

Even _thou_--
beseems it good
To thy vacant vision dim,
That the deadly ruin should,
For thy sake,
encompass
him?

Hugo - Poems |

How often do I close my eyes
And know my spirit is fled afar;
Never such sadness that my heart
Is far from where my lover lies;
Yet when the clouds of morning part,
How swiftly all my
pleasure
flies.

Petrarch - Poems |
|
There is here a
wide range of style;--from
simplicity
expressed in a language hardly yet
broken in to verse,--through the pastoral fancies and Italian conceits
of the strictly Elizabethan time,--to the passionate reality of
Shakespeare: yet a general uniformity of tone prevails.

Elle croit, elle sait, cette vierge infeconde
Et pourtant
necessaire
a la marche du monde,
Que la beaute du corps est un sublime don
Qui de toute infamie arrache le pardon;
Elle ignore l'Enfer comme le Purgatoire,
Et, quand l'heure viendra d'entrer dans la Nuit noire,
Elle regardera la face de la Mort,
Ainsi qu'un nouveau-ne,--sans haine et sans remord.
