Among a city's roofs, which cannot choose
But take blaze from the whole town's timber; so
My soul's desire for flame hath charred the world.

T.S. Eliot |

might I be with her where sinks the sun,
No other eyes upon us but the stars,
Alone, one sweet night, ended by no dawn,
Nor she again
transfigured
in green wood,
To cheat my clasping arms, as on the day,
When Phoebus vainly follow'd her on earth.

Petrarch - Poems |
|
Evening falls and in the garden
Women tell their histories
to Night that not without disdain
spills their dark hair's mysteries
Little children little children
Your wings have flown away
But you rose that defend yourself
Throw your unrivalled scents away
For now's the hour of petty theft
Of plumes of flowers and of tresses
Gather the
fountain
jets so free
Of whom the roses are mistresses
?

She pleas'd his eye, and
presently
he thought,
With ease she might to am'rous sports be brought;
He prov'd not wrong; the wench was blithe and gay,
A buxom lass, most able ev'ry way.

By nature honest, by
experience
wise,
Healthy by temperance, and by exercise;
His life, though long, to sickness past unknown,
His death was instant, and without a groan.
