Already the cortege moves on
But left to us is the regret
of there being no
connivance
none
The rose floats at the water's edge
The maskers have passed by in crowds
It trembles in me like a bell
This heavy secret you ask now
?

Keats - Lamia |

On the Beach at Night Alone
On the beach at night alone,
As the old mother sways her to and fro singing her husky song,
As I watch the bright stars shining, I think a thought of the clef
of the
universes
and of the future.

Dickinson - Three - Complete |

He gaz'd, and, fear his mind surprising,
Himself no more the hermit knows:
He sees with foam the waters rising,
And then
subsiding
to repose,
And sudden, light as night-ghost wanders,
A female thence her form uprais'd,
Pale as the snow which winter squanders,
And on the bank herself she plac'd.

Here, and his cause;
Here those long suits of
Chancery
lie
Quiet, or die;
And all Star-chamber bills do cease,
Or hold their peace.
