Comme un betail pensif sur le sable couchees,
Elles tournent leurs yeux vers l'horizon des mers,
Et leurs pieds se cherchant et leurs mains rapprochees
Ont de douces langueurs et des frissons amers:
Les unes, coeurs epris des longues confidences,
Dans le fond des bosquets ou jasent les ruisseaux,
Vont epelant l'amour des craintives enfances
Et creusent le bois vert des jeunes arbrisseaux;
D'autres, comme des soeurs,
marchent
lentes et graves
A travers les rochers pleins d'apparitions,
Ou saint Antoine a vu surgir comme des laves
Les seins nus et pourpres de ses tentations;
Il en est, aux lueurs des resines croulantes,
Qui dans le creux muet des vieux antres paiens
T'appellent au secours de leurs fievres hurlantes,
O Bacchus, endormeur des remords anciens!

And each vacuity of sense by pride:

In folly's cup still laughs the bubble, joy;

Even mean self-love becomes, by force divine,

E i raggi ne ferien per mezzo 'l naso,
perche per noi girato era si 'l monte,
che gia dritti andavamo inver' l'occaso,
quand' io senti' a me gravar la fronte
a lo splendore assai piu che di prima,
e stupor m'eran le cose non conte;
ond' io levai le mani inver' la cima
de le mie ciglia, e fecimi 'l solecchio,
che del
soverchio
visibile lima.

Mallarme - Poems |

But
the beautiful if not flawless _Elegy XVI_,
By our first strange and fatal interview,
and the _Valedictions_ which he wrote on different
occasions
of
parting from his wife, combine with the peculiar _elan_ of all Donne's
passionate poetry and its intellectual content a tenderness as perfect
as anything in Burns or in Browning:
O more than Moone,
Draw not up seas to drowne me in thy spheare,
Weepe me not dead in thine armes, but forbeare
To teach the sea, what it may doe too soone.
