In which the Parish Chapel stood alone,
Girt round with a bare ring of mossy wall,
While half an hour went by, the Priest had sent 30
Many a long look of wonder: and at last,
Risen from his seat, beside the snow white ridge
Of carded wool which the old man had piled
He laid his implements with gentle care,
Each in the other locked; and, down the path 35
That [4] from his cottage to the church-yard led,
He took his way, impatient to accost
The Stranger, whom he saw still
lingering
there.

Rimbaud - Poesie Completes |
|
His thorough-paced admirers declare Whitman to be beyond rivalry _the_ poet
of the epoch; an estimate which, startling as it will sound at the first,
may nevertheless be upheld, on the grounds that Whitman is beyond all his
competitors a man of the period, one of audacious
personal
ascendant,
incapable of all compromise, and an initiator in the scheme and form of his
works.

Rejoice: forever you'll be
The Princess of Founts to me,
Singing your issuing
From broken stone, a force,
That, as a
gurgling
spring,
Bring water from your source,
An endless dancing thing.

chilly
With all the winds at play,
And there's the Lenten lily

AE Housman - A Shropshire Lad |
|
When winds go round and round in bands,
And thrum upon the door,
And birds take places overhead,
To bear them orchestra,
I crave him grace, of summer boughs,
If such an outcast be,
He never heard that
fleshless
chant
Rise solemn in the tree,
As if some caravan of sound
On deserts, in the sky,
Had broken rank,
Then knit, and passed
In seamless company.

Hard and curled and ready to snap.
