And sweet the fretful swarms of grumbling bees
That round and round the linden blossoms play;
And sweet the heifer

in the stall,
And the green bursting figs that hang upon the red-brick wall,
And sweet to hear the cuckoo mock the spring
While the last violet loiters by the well,

The song of Linus through a sunny dell
Of warm Arcadia where the corn is gold
And the slight lithe-limbed reapers dance about the wattled fold.

Of a broad oak, through whose gnarled roots there fell
A slender rill that sung itself to sleep,

To please the fairy folk; breathlessly deep
The stillness was, save when the dreaming brook
From its small urn a drizzly murmur shook.

O'erjoy'd beholds the cheerful seats of men

Had seen new stars, unknown to Europe, rise,
And brav'd the horrors of the polar skies:

Eliot - Rhapsody on a Windy Night |
|
"
The voice of grief and fury till then had not been loud;
But a deep sullen murmur wandered among the crowd,
Like the moaning noise that goes before the
whirlwind
on the
deep,
Or the growl of a fierce watch-dog but half aroused from sleep.

To hold thee lightly on a gentle knee,
And print on thy soft cheek a parent's kiss,--
This, it should seem, was not
reserved
for me
Yet this was in my nature:--As it is,
I know not what is there, yet something like to this.

Further, since the seeds
Are different,
difference
must there also be
In intervening spaces, thoroughfares,
Connections, weights, blows, clashings, motions, all
Which not alone distinguish living forms,
But sunder earth's whole ocean from the lands,
And hold all heaven from the lands away.

--"And how explains thy Ancient Mind her crimes upon her creatures,
These fallings from her fair beginnings, woundings where she loves,
Into her would-be perfect motions, modes, effects, and features
Admitting cramps, black humours, wan decay, and baleful blights,
Distress
into delights?

hurrying
with the sacred vessels
and conquered gods and his little grandchild in his hand, and runs
distractedly towards my gates.

[ Art thou not my slave & shalt thou dare
To smite me with thy tongue beware lest I sting also thee,]
Who art thou Diminutive husk & shell* [
Broke from my bonds I scorn my prison & yet I love]
If thou hast sinnd & art
polluted
know that I am pure*
And unpolluted & will bring to rigid strict account
All thy past deeds [So] hear what I tell thee!
