A DEMON, blacker in his skin than heart,

The belle he wished, and who had proved so coy.

Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,
Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether equipped with scales or

What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,
That intent on mutual cruelty, we find,
Into your own entrails your own blade bores?

EROTICA ROMANA
By Johann Wolfgang Goethe
I
Here's where I've planted my garden and here I shall care for love's blossoms--
As I am taught by my muse,
carefully
sort them in plots:
Fertile branches, whose product is golden fruit of my lifetime,
Set here in happier years, tended with pleasure today.

Keats - Lamia |

Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:
The earth can yield me but a common grave,
When you
entombed
in men's eyes shall lie.

THE SOULS OF THE SLAIN
I
The thick lids of Night closed upon me
Alone at the Bill
Of the Isle by the Race {253}--
Many-caverned, bald,
wrinkled
of face--
And with darkness and silence the spirit was on me
To brood and be still.

It is dangerous
offending such a one, who, being angry, knows not how to forgive; that
cares not to do anything for maintaining or enlarging of empire; kills
not men or subjects, but
destroyeth
whole countries, armies, mankind,
male and female, guilty or not guilty, holy or profane; yea, some that
have not seen the light.

And thus, I cannot speak
Of love even, as a good thing of my own:
Thy soul hath
snatched
up mine all faint and weak,
And placed it by thee on a golden throne,--
And that I love (O soul, we must be meek!
