Turn to the mole which Hadrian reared on high,
Imperial mimic of old Egypt's piles,
Colossal copyist of deformity,
Whose travelled
phantasy
from the far Nile's
Enormous model, doomed the artist's toils
To build for giants, and for his vain earth,
His shrunken ashes, raise this dome: How smiles
The gazer's eye with philosophic mirth,
To view the huge design which sprung from such a birth!

And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night

Medicines stand unused on the shelf--(the camphor-smell has long pervaded

Who bends him to the
likeness
of an arch,
That midway spans the flood; when thus I heard,
"Come, enter here," in tone so soft and mild,
As never met the ear on mortal strand.

A little, once, it looked ill,
Our consort began to burn--
They
quenched
the flames with a will,
But our men were falling still,
And still the fleet was astern.

Keats - Lamia |

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.

Thou, who didst grudge him e'en that fleeting span,
More than enough, thou fatal Waterloo!

Kipling - Poems |

Again the neighing of the horse, is that
Not seen to differ likewise, when the stud
In buoyant flower of his young years raves,
Goaded by winged Love, amongst the mares,
And when with widening
nostrils
out he snorts
The call to battle, and when haply he
Whinnies at times with terror-quaking limbs?
