A young fellow is dressed up like an old beggar;
a peruke, commonly made of carded tow, represents hoary locks; an old
bonnet; a ragged plaid, or surtout, bound with a straw rope for a
girdle; a pair of old shoes, with straw ropes twisted round his
ankles, as is done by shepherds in snowy weather: his face they
disguise as like wretched old age as they can: in this plight he is
brought into the wedding-house,
frequently
to the astonishment of
strangers, who are not in the secret, and begins to sing--
"O, I am a silly auld man,
My name it is auld Glenae," &c.

Separated by azure flames

And in a cellar of snow
The opulent vine draws

I moulded kings and saviors,
And bards o'er kings to rule;--
But fell the starry
influence
short,
The cup was never full.

Emerson - Poems |

Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,
And lay them prone upon the earth and cease
To ponder on themselves, the while they stare
At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere
In shapes of
shifting
lineage; let geese
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release
From dusty bondage into luminous air.

To the stile
She came o'er violet carpets soft, attired,
To meet the harvest bridegroom, as erewhile,
To be his

till the feast expired.

Stefan George - Selections from His Works and Others |
|
Who loves, raves--'tis youth's frenzy--but the cure
Is bitterer still; as charm by charm unwinds
Which robed our idols, and we see too sure
Nor worth nor beauty dwells from out the mind's
Ideal shape of such; yet still it binds
The fatal spell, and still it draws us on,
Reaping the whirlwind from the oft-sown winds;
The
stubborn
heart, its alchemy begun,
Seems ever near the prize--wealthiest when most undone.
