Blinks golden eyes dull with sleepiness;

Make his tail flicker and his flanks quiver,
Dreams himself deep in some green plantation,
Leaping, and plunging
dripping
claws forever
Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.

Tres vieux, a pris cet air si bon des vieilles gens;
Le buffet est ouvert, et verse dans son ombre
Comme un flot de vin vieux, des parfums engageants;
Tout plein, c'est un fouillis de vieilles vieilleries,
De linges odorants et jaunes, de chiffons
De femmes ou d'enfants, de dentelles fletries,
De fichus de grand'mere ou sont peints des griffons;

De cheveux blancs ou blonds, les portraits, les fleurs seches

Flocks and men, the lasting hills,
And the ever-wheeling stars;
Ye who freight with
wondrous
things 5
The wide-wandering heart of man
And the galleon of the moon,
On those silent seas of foam;
Oh, if ever ye shall grant
Time and place and room enough 10
To this fond and fragile heart
Stifled with the throb of love,
On that day one grave-eyed Fate,
Pausing in her toil, shall say,
"Lo, one mortal has achieved 15
Immortality of love!

that the hand which moulded their opposite slopes, making one to
balance the other, worked round a deep centre, and was privy to the
plan of the universe.

the proclamations of the honorable orators mix with the
top-sergeants whistling the roll call.

comparatively little value and no
