TO-DAY we will not cross the garden railing,

And thus it brings us ghosts which goad and harass,
And anguish

Heine professed to see in the prominence of the hunchback
a personal appeal of the author, who was slightly deformed by one shoulder
being a trifle higher than the other; this malicious suggestion reposed
also on the fact that the _quasi_-hero of "Le Roi s'Amuse" (1832, a
tragedy suppressed after one representation, for its
reflections
on
royalty), was also a contorted piece of humanity.

Hodge, in his waggon, marks the wondrous tongue,
And talks with echo as he drives along;
Still cracks his whip, bawls every horse's name,
And echo still as ready bawls the same:
The puzzling mystery he would gladly cheat,
And fain would utter what it can't repeat,
Till speedless trials prove the doubted elf
As skilled in noise and sounds as Hodge himself;
And, quite convinced with the proofs it gives,
The boy drives on and fancies echo lives,
Like some wood-fiend that frights
benighted
men,
The troubling spirit of a robber's den.

Of wind grant way to great ships of war,
And when the nightingale, in forest far,
Renews her

Now, when the meadows and when the flowers
With thousands upon thousands of colours
Paint the breast of the earth so bright all round,

Easy
Easy and beautiful under
your eyelids
As the meeting of pleasure
Dance and the rest
I spoke the fever
The best reason for fire
That you might be pale and luminous
A thousand fruitful poses
A thousand ravaged embraces
Repeated move to erase themselves
You grow dark you unveil yourself
A mask you
control it
It deeply resembles you
And you seem nothing but
lovelier
naked
Naked in shadow and dazzlingly naked
Like a sky shivering with flashes of lightning
You reveal yourself to you
To reveal yourself to others
Talking of Power and Love
Between all my torments between death and self
Between my despair and the reason for living
There is injustice and this evil of men
That I cannot accept there is my anger
There are the blood-coloured fighters of Spain
There are the sky-coloured fighters of Greece
The bread the blood the sky and the right to hope
For all the innocents who hate evil
The light is always close to dying
Life always ready to become earth
But spring is reborn that is never done with
A bud lifts from dark and the warmth settles
And the warmth will have the right of the selfish
Their atrophied senses will not resist
I hear the fire talk lightly of coolness
I hear a man speak what he has not known
You who were my flesh's sensitive conscience
You I love forever you who made me
You will not tolerate oppression or injury
You'll sing in dream of earthly happiness
You'll dream of freedom and I'll continue you
The Beloved
She is standing on my eyelids
And her hair is wound in mine,

`And hardily, ne dredeth no poverte, 1520
For I have kin and
freendes
elles-where
That, though we comen in oure bare sherte,
Us sholde neither lakke gold ne gere,
But been honured whyl we dwelten there.

Maiden May sat in her bower,
In her blush rose bower in flower,
Where a linnet
Made one
bristling
branch the tower
For her nest and young ones in it.

Lovely And Lifelike
A face at the end of the day
A cradle in day's dead leaves
A bouquet of naked rain
Every ray of sun hidden
Every fount of founts in the depths of the water
Every mirror of mirrors broken
A face in the scales of silence
A pebble among other pebbles
For the leaves last glimmers of day
A face like all the
forgotten
faces.

Paul Eluard - Poems |

Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn,
Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash
Unbraiding in the sun, --
When,
stooping
to secure it,
It wrinkled, and was gone.

On painted ceilings you devoutly stare,
Where sprawl the saints of Verrio or Laguerre,
On gilded clouds in fair

lie,
And bring all Paradise before your eye.

The paradoxical element of
the poems is such that one may
sometimes
find them in conflict with what
has preceded, and would not be much surprised if they said at any moment
the reverse of whatever they do say.

XXII
When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the
lengthening
wings break into fire
At either curved point,--what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented?
