The passing
stranger
oft with wonder stops
And thinks he een could walk upon their tops,
And often stoops to see the busy crow,
And stands above and sees the eggs below;
And while the wild horse gives its head a toss,
The squirrel dances up and runs across.

If there was a fitness in collecting all his sonnets in one volume in
the year 1838, out of deference to the wishes of his friends, in order
that these poems might be "brought under the eye at once"--thus removing
them from their original places, in his
collected
works--it seems
equally fitting now to rearrange them chronologically, as far as it is

Much as brave Jason by the Colchian shore,
Through magic arts won the Golden Fleece,
Sowing the plain with the old serpent's teeth,
To engender soldiers from the furrow's store,
This city, that in youthful season bore
A Hydra's nest of warriors, raised a yeast
Of brave nurslings, who their proud glory saw
Fill the Sun's mansions, to the west and east:
But in the end, lacking a Hercules
To
vanquish
so fecund a progeny,
Arming themselves in civil enmity,
Mowed each other down, a cruel harvest,
Reliving thus the fraternal harsh unrest
Which had blinded that proud seeded army.

I felt the infection slide from him to me,
As in the ---- some give it to get free;
And quick to swallow me, methought I saw
One of our giant
statutes
ope its jaw.

Wilde - Poems |

While life and vigour stay,
The bridle of your
thoughts
is in your power:
Grasp, guide it while you may:
So clogg'd with doubt, so dangerous is delay,
The best for wise reform is still the present hour.

A UNE MALABARAISE
Tes pieds sont aussi fins que tes mains, et ta hanche
Est large a faire envie a la plus belle blanche;
A l'artiste pensif ton corps est doux et cher;
Tes grands yeux de velours sont plus noirs que ta chair
Aux pays chauds et bleus ou ton Dieu t'a fait naitre,
Ta tache est d'allumer la pipe de ton maitre,
De
pourvoir
les flacons d'eaux fraiches et d'odeurs,
De chasser loin du lit les moustiques rodeurs,
Et, des que le matin fait chanter les platanes,
D'acheter au bazar ananas et bananes.

Homeward drag the rumbling roll;

Lolls him o'er the pasture gate.
