Not sunrise with its flaring spokes of light,
Nor glittering arrows of morning can disperse,
But only Nature's aspect and her law,
Which, teaching us, hath this exordium:

Then, again,
Whatever abides eternal must indeed
Either repel all strokes, because 'tis made
Of solid body, and permit no entrance
Of aught with power to sunder from within
The parts compact--as are those seeds of stuff
Whose nature we've exhibited before;
Or else be able to endure through time
For this: because they are from blows exempt,
As is the void, the which abides untouched,
Unsmit by any stroke; or else because
There is no room around, whereto things can,
As 'twere, depart in dissolution all,--
Even as the sum of sums eternal is,
Without or place beyond whereto things may
Asunder fly, or bodies which can smite,
And thus
dissolve
them by the blows of might.

His constancy, with such as have more shew
Of worth, of honour, glory, and popular praise;
Rocks whereon

Or that which only seems to satisfie
Lawful desires of Nature, not beyond; 230

Deborah was great in her prophesying;
But, though her anger moved through the Israelites,
And the loose tribes her indignant crying
Bound into song, fashion'd to an army;
And before the measure of her song went flying,
Like leaves and breakage of the woods
Fallen into pouring floods,
The iron and the men of Sisera and Jabin;
Not by her alone
God's punishment was done
On Canaan intending a
monstrous
crime,
On the foaming and poison of the serpent in Hazor;
Two women were the power of God that time.

Faust, a Tragedy by Goethe |

I have seen eyes in the street
Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one
afternoon
in a pool,
An old crab with barnacles on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.

Thee, Serpent, suttlest beast of all the field 560
I knew, but not with human voice endu'd;
Redouble then this miracle, and say,
How cam'st thou
speakable
of mute, and how
To me so friendly grown above the rest
Of brutal kind, that daily are in sight?

Du Fu - 5 |
|
Just then, at speed on the Foe,
With her bow all weathered and brown,
The great
Lackawanna
came down,
Full tilt, for another blow;
We were forging ahead,
She reversed--but, for all our pains,
Rammed the old Hartford instead,
Just for'ard the mizzen-chains!
