Under the Mirabeau flows the Seine
Brushed by the shadows of the dead
The anemone and flower that weeps
The angels the angels in the sky
I've gathered this sprig of heather
The strollers in the plain
My gipsy beau my lover
The gypsy knew in advance
I am bound to the King of the Sign of Autumn
An eagle descends from this sky white with archangels
Mellifluent moon on the lips of the maddened
Autumn ill and adored
The room is free
Our story's noble as its tragic
Love is dead within your arms
In the evening light that's faded
You've not surprised my secret yet
Evening falls and in the garden
You descended through the water clear
O my abandoned youth is dead
Admire the vital power
From magic Thrace, O

varieties in style accompanied these diversities in aim: poets could not

_Father of the Legions_: he had, on the contrary, been
outrageous

best men, above all to the friends and companions of Germanicus; and, at

For pity hide the cruel sentence
Under friendship's kind

Adam Davy's Five Dreams about Edward II - 1389 |
|
With unawed hand a god he grasps,
He thrusts, to stiffen, in a narrow case,

Walling them round with huge, damp, slimy stone;
And (leaving mem'ry of bloodshed as drink,
And thoughts of crime as food) he stops each chink.

well.

And by the time of night
O'ertaken, they would throw, like bristly boars,
Their wildman's limbs naked upon the earth,
Rolling
themselves
in leaves and fronded boughs.
