THE CAVES
Like the tide--knocking at the hollowed cliff
And running into each green cave as if
In the cave's night to keep
Eternal motion grave and deep--
That, even while each broken wave repeats
Its answered knocking and with bruised hand beats
Again, again, again,
Tossed between ecstasy and pain;
Still in the folded hollow darkness swells,
Sinks, swells, and every green-hung hollow fills,
Till there's no room for sound
Save that old anger rolled around;
So into every hollow cliff of life,
Into this heart's deep cave so loud with strife,
In tunnels I knew not,
In lightless labyrinths of thought,
The unresting tide has run and the dark filled,
Even the
vibration
of old strife is stilled;
The wave returning bears
Muted those time-breathing airs.

The good saddle that was with old adorned,
And through the spine has sliced that pagan's horse;

Aristophanes |

We should never be certain that it was
not some woman treading in the wine-press who began that subtle change
in men's minds, that powerful movement of thought and imagination about
which so many Germans have written; or that the passion, because of
which so many
countries
were given to the sword, did not begin in the
mind of some shepherd boy, lighting up his eyes for a moment before it
ran upon its way.

Gawaine and the Green Knight |

With firm and regular step they wend, they never stop,
Successions of men, Americanos, a hundred millions,
One generation playing its part and passing on,

With faces turn'd

or backward towards me to listen,
With eyes retrospective towards me.

That silver thread the river Dnieper;
And look, where clothed in

Is a sweet Isle, of isles the Queen;
Ye fairies, from all evil keep her!
