But still 'tmust not be thought that in all ways
All things can be conjoined; for then wouldst view
Portents begot about thee every side:
Hulks of mankind half brute astarting up,
At times big branches sprouting from man's trunk,
Limbs of a sea-beast to a land-beast knit,
And nature along the all-producing earth
Feeding those dire
Chimaeras
breathing flame
From hideous jaws--Of which 'tis simple fact
That none have been begot; because we see
All are from fixed seed and fixed dam
Engendered and so function as to keep
Throughout their growth their own ancestral type.

As by an Alpine mountain's pathless side
Some traveller strays, unfriended of a guide;
If o'er the hills the sable night descend,
And gath'ring tempest with the darkness blend,
Deep from the cavern'd rocks beneath, aghast
He hears the howling of the whirlwind's blast;
Above, resounds the crash, and down the steep
Some rolling weight groans on with found'ring sweep;
Aghast he stands, amid the shades of night,
And all his soul implores the friendly light:
It comes; the dreadful lightning's quiv'ring blaze
The yawning depth beneath his lifted step betrays;
Instant unmann'd, aghast in horrid pain,
his knees no more their sickly weight sustain;
Powerless he sinks, no more his heart-blood flows;
So sunk the monarch, and his heart-blood froze;
So sunk he down, when o'er the clouded bay
The rushing whirlwind pour'd the sudden day:
Disaster's giant arm in one wide sweep
Appear'd, and ruin blacken'd o'er the deep;
The sheeted masts drove floating o'er the tide,
And the torn hulks roll'd
tumbling
on the side;
Some shatter'd plank each heaving billow toss'd,
And, by the hand of Heav'n, dash'd on the coast
Groan'd prores ingulf'd; the lashing surges rave
O'er the black keels upturn'd, the swelling wave
Kisses the lofty mast's reclining head;
And, far at sea, some few torn galleys fled.

Sarojini Naidu - Golden Threshold |

Death
only consolation
exists, thoughts - balm
but what is done
is done - we cannot
return to the absolute
contained in death -
- and yet
to show that if,
life once abstracted,
the happiness of being
together, all that - such
consolation in its turn
has its root - its base -
absolute - in what
(if we wish
for example a
dead being to live in
us, thought -
is his being, his
thought in effect)
ever he has of the best
that transpires, through our
love and the care
we take
of being -
(being, being
simply moral and
about thought)
there is in that a
magnificent beyond
that
rediscovers
its
truth - so much
purer and lovelier than
the absolute rupture
of death - become
little by little as illusory
as absolute ( so we're
allowed to seem
to forget the pain)
- as this illusion
of survival in
us, becomes absolutely
illusory - (there is
unreality in both
cases) has been terrible
and true
