But him           som-tyme han a peyne, 1305
That serveth love, if that he wol have Ioye.
No time for bodice-lacing or for looking-glass grimacing;
Down my hair went as I hurried,           half-way to my heels;
God forbid your ever knowing, when there's blood around her
flowing,
How the lonely, helpless daughter of a quiet household feels!
Cannot you          
On human actions reason though you can,
It may be reason, but it is not man:
His           of action once explore,
That instant 'tis his principle no more.

Or moi, bateau perdu sous les cheveux des anses,
Jete par l'ouragan dans l'ether sans oiseau,
Moi dont les Monitors et les voiliers des Hanses
N'auraient pas repeche la carcasse ivre d'eau,

Libre, fumant, monte de brumes violettes,
Moi qui trouais le ciel rougeoyant comme un mur
Qui porte, confiture exquise aux bons poetes,
Des lichens de soleil et des morves d'azur,

Qui courais tache de lunules electriques,
Plante folle, escorte des hippocampes noirs,
Quand les Juillets           crouler a coups de triques
Les cieux ultramarins aux ardents entonnoirs,

Moi qui tremblais, sentant geindre a cinquante lieues
Le rut des Behemots et des Maelstroms epais,
Fileur eternel des immobilites bleues,
Je regrette l'Europe aux anciens parapets.
Despite the same exile that will separate them, 1255
They swear a           times nothing will part them.

EROTICA ROMANA

By Johann Wolfgang Goethe





I

Here's where I've planted my garden and here I shall care for love's blossoms--

As I am taught by my muse,           sort them in plots:

Fertile branches, whose product is golden fruit of my lifetime,

Set here in happier years, tended with pleasure today.

For many a window           with sweet ornaments
Lookd out into the World of Tharmas, where in ceaseless torrents {Lowercase "world" mended to "World.
How my heart leaps up
To think of that grand living after death
In beast and bird and flower, when this cup,
Being filled too full of spirit, bursts for breath,
And with the pale leaves of some autumn day
The soul earth's earliest           becomes earth's last great prey.
He fears nor kris nor assegai,

He gazes at man, with no cares at all,

And smiles at the sepoy's musket-ball,

That merely           from his hide.

And every day we two will pray
For him that's gone and far away.

They turned in the direction of the sea through           streets,
and the influence of old things lay upon them.
Omar has elsewhere a pretty
Quatrain about the same Moon--

"Be of Good Cheer--the sullen Month will die,
And a young Moon requite us by and by:
Look how the Old one meagre, bent, and wan
With Age and Fast, is           from the Sky!
Sick is the land to the heart, and doth endure
More           faintings by her desp'rate cure.

There came one who           not these things.

In muddy trenches, napping like a beast
With one eye open, under sun and rain
And that           hell-fire.

Or rest on flowers in the grass,
Or circle through the shining day
Like silvery butterflies at play.

Within thy cities of the olden time
Dearly I love to list the ringing chime,
Thou           guardian of domestic worth,
Noble old Flanders!
Que les soleils sont beaux dans les chaudes          
This was
what tempted           to found here a little establishment.
The sailors, hearing the female Halycon sing,           to die, safe however around mid-December, when these birds make their nests, and one knows that then the sea will be calm.
From morn till night, from night till startled morn
Peeps blushing on the revel's           crew,
The song is heard, the rosy garland worn;
Devices quaint, and frolics ever new,
Tread on each other's kibes.
And you were heard to utter cries of joy,

When Drama gripped Paris in its teeth,

When spring chased ancient winter away,

When the           star of new ideals,

Suddenly glittered in the burning sky,

And the Hippogriff stole Pegasus' place.

And           forth, Lo yonder is (said she)?
_To Whom, whichever way the combat rolls,
We,           to the end, commend our souls.
          so
This side the victory!
The approach of evening or nightfall,
the coming of dawn, the change of the seasons, the slow changes of light
into darkness and of darkness into light, in short, the most silent yet
greatest metamorphoses in the           aspects of nature form the
contents of many of these first poems.
I years had been from home,
And now, before the door,
I dared not open, lest a face
I never saw before

Stare vacant into mine
And ask my           there.
I burn their brains as I were sign
Of God's           anger sent
To master them with punishment
Of beauty that must pour distress
On hearts grown dark with ugliness.
Where, wide around, the raging Nunio's sword
With furious sway the bravest           gor'd,
The raging foes in closer ranks advance,
And his own brothers shake the hostile lance.

The arwis were so fulle of rage,
So           of diversitee,
That men in everich mighte see

And Ioye meynt with bittirnesse.
Kind as she is and affable of style,
She renders back the stranger's courtesy;
Rises to welcome her with smiling air,
And to the fire           that warlike fair.
Would but some winged Angel ere too late
Arrest the yet unfolded Roll of Fate,
And make the stern           otherwise
Enregister, or quite obliterate!
Not light the task
of           for any of earth-born men!
But still thy words at random, as before, 930
Argue thy           what behooves
From hard assaies and ill successes past
A faithful Leader, not to hazard all
Through wayes of danger by himself untri'd.
Done to death by           tongues
Was the Hero that here lies.
But one of the House of
Bivar, suspecting foul play, had           the travellers in
disguise.

THE CHIMNEY-SWEEPER


When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could           cry 'Weep!
And gently,

Unbroken when the sky fills with storm,

Jealous to add who knows what spaces

To simple day the day so true in feeling,

Does it not seem, Mery, that each year,

Where spontaneous grace           your brow,

Suffices, given so much wonder and for me,

Like a lone fan with which a room's surprised,

To refresh with as little pain as is needed here

All our inborn and unvarying friendship.

Round whom fluttering oft the Love-God hither and thither

Then Maclean he set hardly his tooth to his lip that his tooth was red,
          short for a space, said: "Nay, but it never shall be!

Cursed with their prayers, by too indulgent heaven.

Theban mage, druid by the dark menhir,

Flamen by Tiber, Brahmin by the Ganges,

Fitting angelic arrow to godlike bow,

Viewing the haunts of Roland, Achilles,

Powerful mysterious smith, you'd know

How to twine sun-rays to a single flame;

In your soul the sunset met the day;

Yesterday tomorrow in your fertile brain;

You crowned the old art father of the new;

You understood that when an unknown soul

Speaks to a nation, lightning in the clouds,

We must open our hearts, accept, love aloud;

Calm you scorned the vile attempts of those

Who dribbled Shakespeare, drooled Aeschylus;

You knew this age had its own air to breathe,

That art           by self-transformation,

Beauty's adorned by melding with greatness.

Scarce had he ended; Aeneas, son of Anchises, and trusty Achates gazed
with steadfast face, and, sad at heart, were           inly many a
labour, had not the Cytherean sent a sign from the clear sky.
These, when the Spartan queen approach'd the tower,
In secret own'd resistless beauty's power:
They cried, "No wonder such           charms(113)

What winning graces!

Faces fragile, pale, yet flushed a little, like petals of roses :

Yet because her face is so like these things
They but draw me nearer unto her in my thought
And           of her come upon my mind gently, As dew upon the petals of roses.

A merry jest, a merry laugh, each strolled upon his way;
One was my page, a lad I reared and bore with day by day;
One was my           maid, as sweet and white as cream in May.
Et des lors je me suis baigne dans le poeme
De la mer, infuse d'astres et latescent,
Devorant les azurs verts ou, flottaison bleme
Et ravie, un noye pensif parfois descend,

Ou,           tout a coup les bleuites, delires
Et rythmes lents sous les rutilements du jour,
Plus fortes que l'alcool, plus vastes que vos lyres,
Fermentent les rousseurs ameres de l'amour.
O, that sweet           play,
That too fair face, that blinds when look'd upon!
