Whose loud laugh of victory

Say if I'm not filled with joyousness
Thunder and rubies to the hubs no less

With royal kingdoms far scattering,
The wheel, crimson, as if in dying,
Of my chariot's single evening.

The slope to Vivian-place, and turning saw
The happy valleys, half in light, and half
Far-shadowing from the west, a land of peace;
Gray halls alone among their massive groves;
Trim hamlets; here and there a rustic tower
Half-lost in belts of hop and
breadths
of wheat;
The shimmering glimpses of a stream; the seas;
A red sail, or a white; and far beyond,
Imagined more than seen, the skirts of France.

And virtues which are merciful, nor weave
Snares for the falling: I would also deem

That goodness is no name, and happiness no dream.

THE SUMMONS
A sterner errand to the silken troop
Has quenched the uneasy blush that warmed my cheek;
I am commissioned in my day of joy
To leave my woods and streams and the sweet sloth
Of prayer and song that were my dear delight,
To leave the rudeness of my woodland life,
Sweet twilight walks and
midnight
solitude
And kind acquaintance with the morning stars
And the glad hey-day of my household hours,
The innocent mirth which sweetens daily bread,
Railing in love to those who rail again,
By mind's industry sharpening the love of life--
Books, Muses, Study, fireside, friends and love,
I loved ye with true love, so fare ye well!

Emerson - Poems |
|
In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged
manacles
I hear:
How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every blackening church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

Epic of Gilgamesh |

I have seen eyes in the street
Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one
afternoon
in a pool,
An old crab with barnacles on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.

American Poetry - 1922 |
|
Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss,
Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove:
For, thou
betraying
me, I do betray
My nobler part to my gross body's treason;
My soul doth tell my body that he may
Triumph in love; flesh stays no farther reason,
But rising at thy name doth point out thee,
As his triumphant prize.

Of Sigemund grew,
when he passed from life, no little praise;
for the doughty-in-combat a dragon killed
that herded the hoard: {13a} under hoary rock
the
atheling
dared the deed alone
fearful quest, nor was Fitela there.
