Ay, and not only ease for

But things mine eyes enjoy as mine ears take songs,
Vision that beats a timbrel in my blood,

Run through some danger to them now before
Delighting in them.

Wooers, too,
sent him portions of meat, save Antinous, who
Rapt up a stool, with which he smit
The king's right shoulder, 'twixt his neck and it.

Then the spur
Of the old bards to mighty deeds: his plans
To nurse the golden age 'mong shepherd clans:
That wondrous night: the great Pan-festival: 900
His sister's sorrow; and his wanderings all,
Until into the earth's deep maw he rush'd:
Then all its buried magic, till it flush'd
High with
excessive
love.

Pushkin - Daughter of the Commandant |

We two
We two take each other by the hand
We believe
everywhere
in our house
Under the soft tree under the black sky
Beneath the roofs at the edge of the fire
In the empty street in broad daylight
In the wandering eyes of the crowd
By the side of the foolish and wise
Among the grown-ups and children
Love's not mysterious at all
We are the evidence ourselves
In our house lovers believe.
