So richly was this fertile race imbued
With
virtuous
nephews, its posterity
Surpassed the past, in brave authority,
Measured deep earth and heaven's altitude:
So that, holding all power in its hand,
No end to empire would Rome understand:
And though Republics Time might consume,
Time could not so diminish Roman pride,
That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

All shadowy black the body dread,
All frenzied fire the head,--
The hunger of its mouth a hollow crimson flame,
The hatred in its eyes a blaze
Fierce and green, stabbing the ruddy glaze,
And sharp white jetting fire the teeth snarl'd at me,
And white the dribbling rage of froth,--
A throat that gaped to bay and paws working violently,
Yet soundless all as a winging moth;
Tugging towards me, famishing for my heart;--
Even while thou, O golden god, wert still
Looking the beautiful
kindness
of thy will
Into my soul, even then must I be,
With thy bright promise looking at me,
Then bitterly of that hound afraid?

Mais ou la vie afflue et s'agite sans cesse,
Comme l'air dans le ciel et la mer dans la mer;
Leonard de Vinci, miroir profond et sombre,
Ou des anges charmants, avec un doux souris
Tout charge de mystere, apparaissent a l'ombre
Des glaciers et des pins qui ferment leur pays;
Rembrandt, triste hopital tout rempli de murmures,
Et d'un grand
crucifix
decore seulement,
Ou la priere en pleurs s'exhale des ordures,
Et d'un rayon d'hiver traverse brusquement;
Michel-Ange, lieu vague ou l'on voit des Hercules
Se meler a des Christ, et se lever tout droits
Des fantomes puissants, qui dans les crepuscules
Dechirent leur suaire en etirant leurs doigts;
Coleres de boxeur, impudences de faune,
Toi qui sus ramasser la beaute des goujats,
Grand coeur gonfle d'orgueil, homme debile et jaune,
Puget, melancolique empereur des forcats;
Watteau, ce carnaval ou bien des coeurs illustres,
Comme des papillons, errent en flamboyant,
Decors frais et legers eclaires par des lustres
Qui versent la folie a ce bal tournoyant;
Goya, cauchemar plein de choses inconnues,
De foetus qu'on fait cuire au milieu des sabbats,
De vieilles au miroir et d'enfants toutes nues,
Pour tenter les Demons ajustant bien leurs bas;
Delacroix, lac de sang hante des mauvais anges,
Ombrage par un bois de sapin toujours vert,
Ou, sous un ciel chagrin, des fanfares etranges
Passent, comme un soupir etouffe de Weber;
Ces maledictions, ces blasphemes, ces plaintes,
Ces extases, ces cris, ces pleurs, ces _Te Deum,_
Sont un echo redit par mille labyrinthes;
C'est pour les coeurs mortels un divin opium.

She whom both Pyrrhus and Libyan Mars
Found no way to tame, this proud city,
That with a courage forged in adversity,
Sustained the shock of endless wars,
Though her ship, plagued at the source
By great waves, felt the world's enmity,
None ever saw the reefs of adversity
Wreak havoc on her
fortunate
course:
But, the object of her virtue failing,
Her power opposed its own flailing,
Like the voyager whom a cruel gale
Has long since separated from the shore,
Driven now by the storm's wild roar,
And shipwrecked there, when all efforts fail.

of ages grow,
As streams roll down, enlarging as they flow;
Nations unborn your mighty names shall sound,
And worlds applaud that must not yet be found!

they lead
forth the chariot bathed in Rutulian blood; behind goes weeping Aethon
the war-horse, his trappings laid away, and big drops wet his face.

I heard the girl whisper, "George," and slide her arm
through the arm that was not clawing my shoulder, and I saw that look on
her face which only comes once or twice in a lifetime--when a woman is
perfectly happy and the air is full of
trumpets
and gorgeous-colored
fire and the Earth turns into cloud because she loves and is loved.

For twenty men that you shall now send in
To France the Douce he will repair, that King;
In the rereward will follow after him
Both his nephew, count Rollant, as I think,
And Oliver, that
courteous
paladin;
Dead are the counts, believe me if you will.

Dante - La Divina Commedia |

It gave bright
gladness
to his lady's eye,
And yet the tears she wept were tears of sorrow; 730
Answering thus, just as the golden morrow
Beam'd upward from the vallies of the east:
"O that the flutter of this heart had ceas'd,
Or the sweet name of love had pass'd away.
