When the steel of God's army surges through it,

Maketh the mind of more room for amazement
Than that blue loft hath for the light, more charged
With

As far as tears, with this more throbbingly charged
Than the starr'd night wept full of silver fires,--

The Dalliance of the Eagles
Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,)
Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling,
In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight
downward
falling,
Till o'er the river pois'd, the twain yet one, a moment's lull,
A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing,
Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight,
She hers, he his, pursuing.

Broke through the Spring's first cry of glee.

Of waight one center, one of greatnesse is;
And Reason is that center, Faith is this;
For into'our reason flow, and there do end 5
All, that this naturall world doth comprehend:
Quotidian

Shut in, for man, in one circumference.

That day at Aspromonte and was glad
That in an age when God was bought and sold
One man could die for Liberty!

A fire divine, may your fierce heart now burn

Free and naked, might with a single flight
Rise, beyond the sky, to adore in turn
That other beauty from which your own derives.

of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
