You, by Rome astonished, who gaze here
On ancient pride, once threatening the skies,
These old palaces, where the brave hills rise,
Walls, archways, baths, the temples that appear:
Judge, as you view these ruins, shattered, sere,
All that injurious Time's devoured: the wise
Architect and mason, their plans devise
Still from these fragments, these patterns clear:
Then note how Rome, still, from day to day,
Rummaging through her ancient decay,
Renews herself with hosts of sacred things:
You'd think the Roman spirit yet alive,
With destined hands
continuing
to strive,
That to these dusty ruins, new life brings.

been repeated in later days even with the great poets.

Lisp a faint note anon,
The snow is summer's canopy,

TO MY CHILDREN
Jaya Surya, aetat 4
Golden sun of victory, born
In my life's
unclouded
morn,
In my lambent sky of love,
May your growing glory prove
Sacred to your consecration,
To my heart and to my nation.

XXIX
All that the
Egyptians
once devised,
All that Greece, with its Corinthian,
Ionic, Attic, and its Dorian
Ornament, in its temples apprised,
All that the art of Lysippus comprised,
The hand of Apelles, or the Phidian,
That used to adorn this city, and this land,
Grandeur that even Heaven once surprised,
All that Athens in its wisdom showed,
All that from richest Asia ever flowed,
All that from Africa strange and new was sent,
Was here on view.

A fold in the

Cleft from the sky-line sheer down to the shore!

I moved my fingers off
As

And held my ears, and like a thief
Fled gasping from the house.
