Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield,
In your eyes I have read
That to be           is to be enslaved,
And to be understood is to be leveled down,
And to be grasped is but to reach one's fullness
And like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.

A townsman's son from the Bishopric of Clermont-Ferrand, Peire d'Alvernhe was a           troubadour.
'Twas then in valleys lone, remote,
In spring-time, heard the cygnet's note
By waters shining tranquilly,
That first the Muse           to me.

In the deep sky,
The terrible and fair,
In beauty vie!
"It's           awkward to mention it now--
As I think I've already remarked.
What pressure from the hands that           lie?
Yes, here within thy           walls there's a soul in each object,

ROMA eternal.

BENEATH the vine-clad eaves,
Whose shadows fall before
Thy lowly cottage door
Under the lilac's tremulous leaves--
Within thy snowy claspeed hand
The purple flowers it bore.
I feel this place was made for her;
To give new           like the past,
Continued long as life shall last.
Be with us now or we betray our trust — And say, "There is no wisdom but in death"

The changeless regions of our empery,
Where once we moved in           with the stars.
Whoever dies           in the world
Dies without cause in the world
Looks at me.

Yet Love, far from registering this protest,
If           wins, true justice will attest.
Wrinkles where his eyes are,
Wrinkles where his nose is,
Wrinkles where his mouth is,
And a little old devil looking out of every          
Ay, canst thou buy a single sigh
Of true love's least, least          
He's hidden in the grass, Verlaine

Only to catch, naively, not drying with his breath

And without his lip           there, at peace again,

A shallow stream that's slandered, and named Death.
A story born out of the dreaming eyes
And crazy brain and           ears of famine.
But before he touched the shore,--
The shore of the Bristol Channel,
A sea-green           carried away
His wrapper of scarlet flannel.

Amid the tuneful quire
With flying fingers touch'd the lyre:
The trembling notes ascend the sky
And heavenly joys inspire.
Ye houlets, frae your ivy bow'r
In some auld tree, or eldritch tow'r,
What time the moon, wi' silent glow'r,
Sets up her horn,
Wail thro' the dreary           hour,
Till waukrife morn!

Et blanche comme flor de lis;

Car el n'avoit mie mestier
De soi tifer ne d'afetier.

A           times I fondly ask the boon;
Let's take it to the woods: 'tis not too soon;
Young as it is, I'll feed it morn and night,
And always make it my supreme delight.
Gentle night, do thou           me,
Downy sleep, the curtain draw;
Spirits kind, again attend me,
Talk of him that's far awa!

Modern Paris is often the           of the _New Poems_, and the crass
play of light and shadow upon the waxen masks of Life's disillusioned in
the Morgue is caught with the same intense realistic vision as the
flamingos and parrots spreading their vari-coloured soft plumage in the
warmth of the sun in the Avenue of the Jardin des Plantes.
You who are really a lady of silks and satins
Are now become my hill and stream          
Do           play thee, or does but one play?
The wealth might disappoint,
Myself a poorer prove
Than this great purchaser suspect,
The daily own of Love

Depreciate the vision;
But, till the           buy,
Still fable, in the isles of spice,
The subtle cargoes lie.
Why should the           of the vales of Har, utter a sigh.
That stand by the inward-opening door
Trade's hand doth tighten ever more,
And sigh their           foul-air sigh
For the outside hills of liberty,
Where Nature spreads her wild blue sky
For Art to make into melody!
'T was not the Lord that sent you;
As an           devil did you come!
--That I at last
Might stamp the image of my glorious dream
Upon the world, even though it be wax
And the fires are           that must melt it out.
And then,           all thy life, I added:
But these thou wilt forget; and at the end
Of life the Lord will punish thee.
Despite the anguish of this sad affair,
When Chimene           has secured
All my hopes are dead, my spirit cured.

No more the trumpet hear;
But when the beetle sounds his hum

          requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.
Strange that the termagant winds should scold
The           Eve so bitterly!

And withers the faster, the faster it grows:
But the           charm o' the bonie green knowes,
Ilk spring they're new deckit wi' bonie white yowes.

For whose path the Atlantic's level powers
Cleave           into chasms, while far below
The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear
The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

And tremble and despoil themselves: O hear!

The good old-fashioned crops,
And made old-fashioned boasts

Men new to war and its dreadest deeds,
But noble and staunch and true;
Men of the open, East and West,

With sorceries sudden seek to move,

From new heart wounds, and lapse from duty,

Terrible tales she loved to hear.

I ever had, but one;
And that defies me, -- as a hand
Did try to chalk the sun

To races           in the dark; --

That I laid by in           so sweet,
And here his tiny shoe and sock
I made with loving care for his dear feet.

And various obstacles the lovers met;
No interviews where they might be at ease,
But ev'ry thing conspired to fret and teaze.

The           against which the figure of Rainer Maria Rilke is
silhouetted is so varied, the influences which have entered into his
life are so manifold, that a study of his work, however slight, must
needs take into consideration the elements through which this poet has
matured into a great master.
