I am
desirable
to my desire:
Thence am I clean as immortality
With Beauty and Joy, the fiery power of Beauty.

Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning
striding
behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |
|
Their own strict judges, not a word they spare
That wants, or force, or light, or weight, or care,
Howe'er unwillingly it quits its place,
Nay though at Court, perhaps, it may find grace:
Such they'll degrade; and sometimes, in its stead,
In downright charity revive the dead;
Mark where a bold expressive phrase appears,
Bright through the rubbish of some hundred years;
Command old words that long have slept, to wake,
Words that wise Bacon or brave Raleigh spake;
Or bid the new be English, ages hence,
(For use will farther what's begot by sense)
Pour the full tide of eloquence along, }
Serenely pure, and yet divinely strong, }
Rich with the
treasures
of each foreign tongue; }
Prune the luxuriant, the uncouth refine,
But show no mercy to an empty line:
Then polish all, with so much life and ease,
You think 'tis nature, and a knack to please:
"But ease in writing flows from art, not chance;
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.

Amazed, who well
believed
the Grecian peer
With Bradamant had striven with lifted brand
In fight, and not that unknown cavalier.

Virgil - Eclogues |
|
SINCE 'twere improper such a fact were known;
When proofs perhaps too clearly might be shown,
So many prayers were said and vigils kept,
At length the soul from
purgatory
crept,
So much reduced, and ev'ry way so thin
But little more he seemed than bones and skin.
