The night has cut
each from each

back from the stalk
and under it in crisp rows;
under at an

under till the rinds break,
back till each bent leaf
is parted from its stalk;
under at a grave pace,
under till the leaves

till they drop upon earth,

All
suffices
reckoned rightly:
Spring shall bloom where now the ice is,
Roses make the bramble sightly,
And the quickening sun shine brightly,
And the latter wind blow lightly,
And my garden teem with spices.

Yet time ennobles, or
degrades
each line;
It brightened Craggs's, and may darken thine:
And what is fame?

]
When an angel of kindness
Saw, doomed to the dark,
Men framed in his likeness,
He sought for a spark--
Stray gem of God's glory
That shines so serene--
And, falling like lark,
To
brighten
our story,
Pure Pity was seen.

Victor Hugo - Poems |

E gia venia su per le torbide onde
un fracasso d'un suon, pien di spavento,
per cui
tremavano
amendue le sponde,
non altrimenti fatto che d'un vento
impetuoso per li avversi ardori,
che fier la selva e sanz' alcun rattento
li rami schianta, abbatte e porta fori;
dinanzi polveroso va superbo,
e fa fuggir le fiere e li pastori.

Dante - La Divina Commedia |
|
Be still his arm and architect,
Rebuild the ruin, mend defect;
Chemist to vamp old worlds with new,
Coat sea and sky with heavenlier blue,
New tint the plumage of the birds,
And slough decay from grazing herds,
Sweep ruins from the scarped mountain,
Cleanse the torrent at the fountain,
Purge alpine air by towns defiled,
Bring to fair mother fairer child,
Not less renew the heart and brain,
Scatter the sloth, wash out the stain,
Make the aged eye sun-clear,
To parting soul bring
grandeur
near.
