The nose of Hautgout, and the tip of taste,
Critic'd your wine, and

Yet on plain pudding deigned at home to eat;
So Philomede, lecturing all mankind
On the soft passion, and the taste refined,
The address, the delicacy--stoops at once,
And makes her hearty meal upon a dunce.

The Curve Of Your Eyes
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
A ring of
sweetness
and dance
halo of time, sure nocturnal cradle,
And if I no longer know all I have lived through
It's that your eyes have not always been mine.

AE Housman - A Shropshire Lad |
|
I've half a mind to shake myself
Free just for once from London,
To set my work upon the shelf
And leave it done or undone;
To run down by the early train,
Whirl down with shriek and whistle, 50
And feel the bluff North blow again,
And mark the
sprouting
thistle
Set up on waste patch of the lane
Its green and tender bristle.
