is done - we cannot
return to the absolute

life once abstracted,
the happiness of being
together, all that - such
consolation in its turn
has its root - its base -
absolute - in what
(if we wish
for example a
dead being to live in
us, thought -
is his being, his
thought in effect)
ever he has of the best
that transpires, through our
love and the care
we take
of being -
(being, being
simply moral and
about thought)
there is in that a
magnificent beyond
that rediscovers its
truth - so much
purer and lovelier than
the absolute rupture
of death - become
little by little as illusory
as absolute ( so we're
allowed to seem
to forget the pain)

illusory - (there is

Then to the Heav'n of Heav'ns he shall ascend 450
With victory, triumphing through the aire
Over his foes and thine; there shall surprise
The Serpent, Prince of aire, and drag in Chaines
Through all his realme, & there confounded leave;
Then enter into glory, and resume
His Seat at Gods right hand, exalted high
Above all names in Heav'n; and thence shall come,
When this worlds
dissolution

With glory and power to judge both quick & dead,
To judge th' unfaithful dead, but to reward 460
His faithful, and receave them into bliss,
Whether in Heav'n or Earth, for then the Earth
Shall all be Paradise, far happier place

So passed another day, and so the third:
Then did I try, in vain, the crowd's resort,
In deep despair by frightful wishes stirr'd,
Near the sea-side I reached a ruined fort:
There, pains which nature could no more support,
With blindness linked, did on my vitals fall;
Dizzy my brain, with
interruption
short
Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
And thence was borne away to neighbouring hospital.

Kipling - Poems |

who dost oft return,
Ministering comfort to my nights of woe,
From eyes which Death,
relenting
in his blow,
Has lit with all the lustres of the morn:
How am I gladden'd, that thou dost not scorn
O'er my dark days thy radiant beam to throw!

Let's take it to the woods: 'tis not too soon;
Young as it is, I'll feed it morn and night,
And always make it my supreme delight.

CXXVII
Besides, that ours, with those upon the height,
War from below, like valiant men and stout,
New files succeed to those who fall in fight,
Where, on the
interior
summit, stand the rout,
Who gall with lances, and a whistling flight
Of darts, the mighty multitude without;
Many of whom, I ween, that post would shun,
If it were not for royal Ulien's son.

Perhaps, if I the cup should hold awry,
The liquor out might on a sudden fly;
I'm sometimes awkward, and in case the cup
Should fancy me another, who would sup,
The error, doubtless, might unpleasant be:
To any thing but this I will agree,
To give you pleasure, Damon, so adieu;
Then Reynold from the
antlered
corps withdrew.

Even when we sleep we watch over each other
And this love heavier than a lake's ripe fruit
Without
laughter
or tears lasts forever
One day after another one night after us.
