Emporte par l'elan, comme un cheval se cabre:
Et, se sentant encor la corde raide au cou,
Crispe ses petits doigts sur son femur qui craque
Avec des cris pareils a des ricanements,
Et, comme un baladin rentre dans la baraque,
Rebondit

PINE
By John Russell McCarthy
You must have dreamed a little every year For fifty years: you must have been a child, Shy and diffident with the violets, School-girlish with the daisies, or perhaps
A youthful Indian with the hickory tree;
You must have been a lover with the beech, A wise young father walking with your sons Beneath the maple; then have battled long Grim and defiant with the oak : all these
You must have been for fifty
dreaming
years Before you may hold converse with the pine.

Didst thou lie there by some
Lethaean
stream
Deep brooding on thine ancient memory,
The crash of broken spears, the fiery gleam
From shivered helm, the Grecian battle-cry?

temendo no 'l mio dir li fosse grave,
infino al fiume del parlar mi trassi.

Singers, singing in lawless freedom,
Jokers,
pleasant
in word and deed,
Run free of false gold, alloy, come,
Men of wit - somewhat deaf indeed -
Hurry, be quick now, he's dying poor man.

Khalil Gibran - Poems |

Sounds AEolian
Breath'd from the hinges, as the ample span
Of the wide doors disclos'd a place unknown
Some time to any, but those two alone,
And a few Persian mutes, who that same year 390
Were seen about the markets: none knew where
They could inhabit; the most curious
Were foil'd, who watch'd to trace them to their house:
And but the flitter-winged verse must tell,
For truth's sake, what woe
afterwards
befel,
'Twould humour many a heart to leave them thus,
Shut from the busy world of more incredulous.
