Night with her terrible murk hath cloaked the lands--

An open body of water, had no power
To render it hot upon its upper side,
Though his high light possess such burning glare,
How, then, can he, when under the gross earth,
Make water boil and glut with fiery heat?

Among the very flowers--when haply mind
Gnaws into self, now stricken with remorse
For

Or else because she's left him all in doubt
By launching some sly word, which still like fire
Lives wildly, cleaving to his eager heart;

Pushkin - Talisman |

The wealth I had
contented
me;
If 't was a meaner size,
Then I had counted it until
It pleased my narrow eyes
Better than larger values,
However true their show;
This timid life of evidence
Keeps pleading, "I don't know.

Dickinson - Two - Complete |

Even When We Sleep
Even when we sleep we watch over each other
And this love heavier than a lake's ripe fruit
Without
laughter
or tears lasts forever
One day after another one night after us.
