The beauties round about by false notes that confuse
Between itself and our credulous singing;

Rimbaud - Poesie Completes |
|
But under one name I'd have thee yoke them both;
And when, for instance, I shall speak of soul,
Teaching
the same to be but mortal, think
Thereby I'm speaking also of the mind--
Since both are one, a substance inter-joined.

How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair
imperfect
shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!

Les Odes: O
Fontaine
Bellerie
O Fount of Bellerie,
Fountain sweet to see,
Dear to our Nymphs when, lo,
Waves hide them at your source
Fleeing the Satyr so,
Who follows them, in his course,
To the borders of your flow.

These words uttered, she
descends
to earth in all her terrors, and calls
dolorous Allecto from the home of the Fatal Sisters in nether gloom,
whose delight is in woeful wars, in wrath and treachery and evil feuds:
hateful to [327-360]lord Pluto himself, hateful and horrible to her
hell-born sisters; into so many faces does she turn, so savage the guise
of each, so thick and black bristles she with vipers.

Virgil - Aeneid |

But say not a word till the shot is heard that tells that the
fight is on,
Till the long, deep roar grows more and more from the ships
of "Yank" and "Don,"
Till over the deep the tempests sweep of fire and
bursting
shell,
And the very air is a mad Despair in the throes of a living hell;
Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the
midday suns,
You'll find the chaps who are giving the raps--the men behind
the guns!

Du Bellay - The Ruins of Rome |

You by Jove's blest power
Were snatch'd from out the baleful range
Of Saturn, and the evil hour
Was stay'd, when rapturous benches full
Three times the
auspicious
thunder peal'd;
Me the curst trunk, that smote my skull,
Had slain; but Faunus, strong to shield
The friends of Mercury, check'd the blow
In mid descent.
