See night and day men strain with

Camoes - Lusiades |
|
Then emulous the royal robes they lave,
And plunge the vestures in the cleansing wave
(The vestures cleansed o'erspread the shelly sand,
Their snowy lustre whitens all the strand);
Then with a short repast relieve their toil,
And o'er their limbs diffuse ambrosial oil;
And while the robes imbibe the solar ray,
O'er the green mead the
sporting
virgins play
(Their shining veils unbound).

Odyssey - Pope |

Je trone dans l'azur comme un sphinx incompris;
J'unis un coeur de neige a la blancheur des cygnes;
Je hais le
mouvement
qui deplace les lignes,
Et jamais je ne pleure et jamais je ne ris.

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |

TEMPORE SENECTUTIS OR we are old
And the earth passion dieth;
We have watched him die a
thousand
times, When he wanes an old wind crieth,
For we are old
And passion hath died for us a thousand times
But we grew never weary.
