Is so tremendous, and with glide so swift
Those thunderbolts rush on and down, because
Their roused force itself
collects
itself
First always in the clouds, and then prepares
For the huge effort of their going-forth;
Next, when the cloud no longer can retain
The increment of their fierce impetus,
Their force is pressed out, and therefore flies
With impetus so wondrous, like to shots
Hurled from the powerful Roman catapults.

Shuttleworthy's heart good to see the old fellow
swallow it, as he did, quart after quart; so that, one day, when the
wine was in and the wit as a natural consequence, somewhat out, he said
to his crony, as he slapped him upon the back--"I tell you what it is,
'Old Charley,' you are, by all odds, the
heartiest
old fellow I ever
came across in all my born days; and, since you love to guzzle the wine
at that fashion, I'll be darned if I don't have to make thee a present
of a big box of the Chateau-Margaux.

E come a messagger che porta ulivo
tragge la gente per udir novelle,
e di calcar nessun si mostra schivo,
cosi al viso mio s'affisar quelle
anime
fortunate
tutte quante,
quasi obliando d'ire a farsi belle.

Poets of old in chorus cried out against those two serpents,
Making them
horrible
names, hated in all of the world:
Python the one, the other the Hydra of Lerna.

And what chiefly gives this sense of quivering, uncertain
significance to their poetry is the
increase
of freedom and decrease of
control in the supernatural.

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of
wonderful
melodies.
