A CERTAIN pirate soon observ'd the ship,
In which this charming lady made the trip,
And presently attack'd and seiz'd the same;
But Richard's bark to shore in safety came;
So near the land, or else he would not brave,
To any great extent, the stormy wave,
Or that the robber thought if both he took,
He could not

for favours look,
And he preferr'd those joys the FAIR bestow,
To all the riches which to mortals flow.

For arms and weapons of the sylvan war;

And nine fat goats each vessel bears away:

Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings
The reasons the proofs
Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs
Directions detached from the earth
In your eyes those that show us
Our

"Some god, my friend, some god in human form
Favouring descends, and wills to stand the storm.

Rilke - Poems |
|
One hand she press'd upon that aching spot
Where beats the human heart, as if just there,
Though an immortal, she felt cruel pain:
The other upon Saturn's bended neck
She laid, and to the level of his ear
Leaning with parted lips, some words she spake
In solemn tenour and deep organ tone:
Some mourning words, which in our feeble tongue
Would come in these like accents; O how frail 50
To that large
utterance
of the early Gods!

We have kings, I say,
To keep cash going, and the game at play;
There's why a king wants money--he'd be missed
Without a
fertilizing
civil list.
