Where you hold me enchained a certain time, refusing to give me up,

Poe - 5 |

if I were sullen
While Earth herself is adorning
This sweet May morning,
And the
children
are pulling
On every side
In a thousand valleys far and wide
Fresh flowers; while the sun shines warm,
And the babe leaps up on his mother's arm:--
I hear, I hear, with joy I hear!

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |
|

molehill
jumps the hare,
Cheat of his chosen bed, and from the bank
The yellowhammer flutters in short fears
From off its nest hid in the grasses rank,
And drops again when no more noise it hears.

Ah then at times I
drooping
sit,
And spend many an anxious hour;
Nor in my book can I take delight,
Nor sit in learning's bower,
Worn through with the dreary shower.

a place of meeting, wherein it is at our pleasure to fail; and

Pushkin - Queen of Spades |
|
He did not wring his hands nor weep,
Nor did he peek or pine,
But he drank the air as though it held
Some
healthful
anodyne;
With open mouth he drank the sun
As though it had been wine!
