At rest in the myrtle groves of the dark kingdom:
You'll be an old woman hunched over the fire,
Regretting my love for you, your fierce disdain,
So live, believe me: don't wait for another day,
Gather them now the roses of life, and desire.

Happy in visions, and content to pine,
Shadows to clasp, to chase the summer gale,
On shoreless and unfathom'd sea to sail,
To build on sand, and in the air design,
The sun to gaze on till these eyes of mine
Abash'd before his noonday splendour fail,
To chase adown some soft and sloping vale,
The winged stag with maim'd and heavy kine;
Weary and blind, save my own harm to all,
Which day and night I seek with
throbbing
heart,
On Love, on Laura, and on Death I call.

All that here she may control--
What of bitter memories,
What of coming fate's surmise,
Paris' passion, distant din
Of the war now

To her quiet--idle seems;
Idle as the lazy gleams
Of some stilly water's reach,
Seen from where broad vine-leaves pleach
A heavy arch; and, looking through,
Far away the doubtful blue
Glimmers, on a drowsy day,
Crowded with the sun's rich gray;--
As she stands within her room,
Weaving, weaving at the loom.

Upon its green stalk the Corn, waving innumerable
Infolding the bright Infants from the desolating winds
They sulk upon her breast her hair became like snow on mountains
Weaker & weaker, weeping woful, wearier and wearier
Faded & her bright Eyes decayd melted with pity & love

He sinks down; stretched out on a level stone,
Cleans his paw with a broad lick of his tongue
Blinks golden eyes dull with sleepiness;

Make his tail flicker and his flanks quiver,
Dreams himself deep in some green plantation,
Leaping, and

dripping claws forever
Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.

Hissing melodious, neither like the bird nor like my aroused child's heart,

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a
flattering
word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Wilde - Poems |

He imagined
himself to believe in Christianity, but his belief never realized itself in
effective action, either in the mind or in conduct, while it frequently

many internal irritations.

Meredith - Poems |
|
Me from myself thy cruel eye hath taken,
And my next self thou harder hast engross'd:
Of him, myself, and thee I am forsaken;
A torment thrice three-fold thus to be cross'd:
Prison my heart in thy steel bosom's ward,
But then my friend's heart let my poor heart bail;
Whoe'er keeps me, let my heart be his guard;
Thou canst not then use rigour in my jail:
And yet thou wilt; for I, being pent in thee,
Perforce
am thine, and all that is in me.

To shun the bitter blaudin' show'r,
Or in gulravage rinnin scowr
To pass the time,
To you I
dedicate
the hour
In idle rhyme.

Before whose arm Troy tumbled to the ground.
