Who brings the seasons forth in the open world;
And if to them She hands, unseen by us,
Their marvellous bringing forth of children, what
Spirit of Her great
dreadful
mountain-spell,
Wherein the rocks have purpose against us,
Sealed up in watchful quiet stone, may not
Pass on to their dark minds, that seem so mild,
Yet are so strange; or what charm'd word from out
Her forests whispering endless dangerous things,
Wherefrom our hunters often have run crazed
To hear the trees devising for their souls;
What secret share of Her earth's monstrous power
May She not also grant to women's lives?

So horribly far off; priests, trained to rob,
And kings that, like encouraged nightmares, sat
On nations' hearts most heavily distressed
With monstrous sights and apophthegms of fate--

Of all this sin, and "Calvin, for the rest,

A dimmer Renown might strike
If Death lay square alongside--
But the Old Flag has no like,
She must fight,
whatever
betide--
When the war is a tale of old,
And this day's story is told,
They shall hear how the Hartford died!

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |
|
So Lilia sang: we thought her half-possessed,
She struck such warbling fury through the words;
And, after, feigning pique at what she called
The raillery, or grotesque, or false sublime--
Like one that wishes at a dance to change
The music--clapt her hands and cried for war,
Or some grand fight to kill and make an end:
And he that next
inherited
the tale
Half turning to the broken statue, said,
'Sir Ralph has got your colours: if I prove
Your knight, and fight your battle, what for me?

It rebukes
Your earthly passion, your
unchaste
desires,
And bids you look into your heart, and see
How you do wrong that better nature in you,
And grieve your soul with sin.
