We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid, promulge the

Dwell a while and pass on, be copious, temperate, chaste, magnetic,

And may be just as much as the seasons.

THE TRAVAIL OF PASSION
WHEN the flaming lute-thronged angelic door is wide;
When an immortal passion breathes in mortal clay;
Our hearts endure the scourge, the plaited thorns, the way
Crowded with bitter faces, the wounds in palm and side,
The hyssop-heavy sponge, the flowers by Kidron stream:
We will bend down and loosen our hair over you,
That it may drop faint perfume, and be heavy with dew,
Lilies of death-pale hope, roses of
passionate
dream.

Of thy barrier and thy bar--
Of the barrier overgone
By the comets who were cast
From their pride, and from their throne
To be drudges till the last--
To be carriers of fire

With speed that may not tire
And with pain that shall not part--

Pushkin - Talisman |
|
Two mortal foes in one fair breast combined,
Beauty and Virtue, in such peace allied
That ne'er rebellion ruffled that pure mind,
But in rare union dwelt they side by side;
By Death they now are shatter'd and disjoin'd;
One is in heaven, its glory and its pride,
One under earth, her
brilliant
eyes now blind,
Whence stings of love once issued far and wide.

Petrarch |
|
God that made all that goes or stays
And formed this love from afar
Grant me the power to hope one day
I'll see this love of mine afar,
Truly, and in a
pleasant
hour,
So that her chamber and her bower,
Might seem a palace to my eyes.

Troubador Verse |
|
In A New Night
Woman I've lived with
Woman I live with
Woman I'll live with
Always the same
You need a red cloak
Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings
The reasons the proofs
Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs
Directions detached from the earth
In your eyes those that show us
Our
infinite
solitude
Is no more than they think exists
No one can know me more
More than you know me.

by her fellow
craftsmen throughout Greece as the wonder of her age.

Sappho |

what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight;
Or, if they have, where is my
judgment
fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
