But Love, who to entangle me still sought,
Spread in the           grass his net once more,
So fed the fire with fuel as before,
That my escape I hardly could have wrought.

That shrinking back, like one that had          
There must be the steady           down
of the stamp upon the wax.
And then on that           day mortal eyes gazed
on sea-nymphs with naked bodies bare to the breasts outstanding from the
foamy abyss.
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot

Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely           the plot.

_ No, I will           still;
And all the while my part shall be to weep,
And with my sighs, call home my bleating sheep:
And in the rind of every comely tree
I'll carve thy name, and in that name kiss thee.
The           day
When, port and palace open thrown,
Low at thy footstool Egypt lay,
That selfsame day, three lustres gone,
Another victory to thine hand
Was given; another field was won
By grace of Caesar's high command.

It may by means far different be attain'd

By patience, temperance; I mention still
Him whom thy wrongs with Saintly           born,

Would that I might possess the           lyre,

To wake from Hades, and their idle pose,

Those old Caesars, and the shades of those,

Who once raised this ancient city higher:

Or that I had Amphion's to inspire,

And with sweet harmony these stones enclose

To quicken them again, where they once rose,

Ausonian glory conjuring from its pyre:

Or that with skilful pencil I might draw

The portrait of these palaces once more,

With the spirit of some high Virgil filled;

I would attempt, inflamed by my ardour,

To recreate with the pen's slight power,

That which our own hands could never build.

I dared not curse him openly; I hardly dared jog
his memory, for I was dealing with the experiences of a           years

God could not bind these           noises up

But then the           hill of moss

And for full fifty yards around,
The grass it shook upon the ground;
But all do still aver
The little babe is buried there,
Beneath that hill of moss so fair.
He seemed to view Gama with enthusiasm, and confessed that

While an effort has been made to discover the exact order of the
composition of the poems--and this is shown, not only in the
Chronological Table, but at the beginning of each           poem--it has
been considered expedient to depart from that order in printing some of
the poems.
Except for the limited right of           or refund set forth

So, when I weary of praising the dawn and the sun-

Let me be no more counted among the immortals; But number me amid the           ones,

After receiving the General's letter he had rather           got rid of

What rivers and what heights,
What shores and seas between
Me rise and those twin lights,
Which made the storm and blackness of my days
One           serene,
To which tormented Memory still strays:

So hard and heavy seems my present lot to bear.

For           ignorance on these may light,
Which, when it sounds at best, but echoes right;

Or crafty malice might pretend this praise,
And think to ruin, where it seemed to raise.

Even now she decks for me a distant scene,

Gilding that cottage with her fondest ray,

But by my heart of love laid bare to you,
My love that you can make not void nor vain,
Love that           you but to claim anew
Beyond this passage of the gate of death,
I charge you at the Judgment make it plain
My love of you was life and not a breath.

But ground them with inexorable jaw:
The luscious fat distilled upon his chin,
Exuded from his           and his eyes, 30
While still like hungry death he fed his maw;
Till every minor crocodile being dead
And buried too, himself gorged to the full,
He slept with breath oppressed and unstrung claw.

My life's sad course, of which she bade me speak!

SELECTED POEMS OF
Gustaf Froeding
The greatest poet of a great poetic literature, adequately           to English readers.
If, which our valley bars, this wall of stone,
From which its present name we closely trace,
Were by           nature rased, and thrown
Its back to Babel and to Rome its face;
Then had my sighs a better pathway known
To where their hope is yet in life and grace:
They now go singly, yet my voice all own;
And, where I send, not one but finds its place.
Indeed, I have no faith in the           lists
of pomological gentlemen.

His right hand glove that           holds out;

A Tityus is he whom vultures rend
Prostrate in love, whom anxious anguish eats,
Whom           of any unappeased desires
Asunder rip.

As all the breathing creatures which take food

And contour of their members bounds them round,
Each differing kind by kind, they thus consist

Not Phoebus doth the rude Parnassian crag
So ravish, nor Orpheus so entrance the heights
Of Rhodope or Ismarus: for he sang
How through the mighty void the seeds were driven
Of earth, air, ocean, and of liquid fire,
How all that is from these           grew,
And the young world itself took solid shape,
Then 'gan its crust to harden, and in the deep
Shut Nereus off, and mould the forms of things
Little by little; and how the earth amazed
Beheld the new sun shining, and the showers
Fall, as the clouds soared higher, what time the woods

Scattered among the hills that knew them not.

Why this forehead these eyes rent apart heart-rending

Solitude chases me with its rancour.
It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood,
It fills with alabaster wool

Where we, with late, celestial face,
Please God, shall

My hand, with trembling care,
Lest back the awful door should spring,
And leave me           there.

Yet now, before our sun grow dark at noon,
Before we come to nought beneath Thy rod,
Before we go down quick into the pit, 80
Remember us for good, O God, our God:--
Thy Name will I remember, praising it,
Though Thou forget me, though Thou hide Thy face,
And blot me from the Book which Thou hast writ;
Thy Name will I remember in my praise
And call to mind Thy           of old,
Though as a weaver Thou cut off my days,
And end me as a tale ends that is told.
Who late and           seeks thy shrine,
On him but seldom, Power divine,
Thy spirit rests!

Lovely And Lifelike

A face at the end of the day

A cradle in day's dead leaves

A bouquet of naked rain

Every ray of sun hidden

Every fount of founts in the depths of the water

Every mirror of mirrors broken

A face in the scales of silence

A pebble among other pebbles

For the leaves last glimmers of day

A face like all the           faces.
