Li Bai - Chinese |
|
He stood before the tumbling main
With joy too tense for sober brain;
He shared the life of the element,
The tie of blood and home was rent:
As if in him the welkin walked,
The winds took flesh, the
mountains
talked,
And he the bard, a crystal soul
Sphered and concentric with the whole.

Pushkin - Eugene Oneigin |
|
I love thy wizard noise, and rave in turn
Half-vacant
thoughts
and rhymes of careless form;
Then hide me from the shower, a short sojourn,
Neath ivied oak; and mutter to the storm,
Wishing its melody belonged to me,
That I might breathe a living song to thee.
