Like rock or stone, it is o'ergrown
With lichens to the very top,
And hung with heavy tufts of moss,
A
melancholy
crop:
Up from the earth these mosses creep,
And this poor thorn they clasp it round
So close, you'd say that they were bent
With plain and manifest intent,
To drag it to the ground;
And all had joined in one endeavour
To bury this poor thorn for ever.

thus passed the pair,
When bliss was changed to Hell's worst cank'ring care;
A fit of jealousy the husband grieved,
And, strange to tell, he all at once believed,
A lover with success his wife addressed,
When, but for him, the suit had ne'er been pressed;
For though the spark, the charming fair to gain,
Would ev'ry wily method try, 'twas plain,
Yet had the husband never terrors shown,
The lover, in despair, had quickly flown.

O my abandoned youth is dead
Like a garland faded
Here the season comes again
Of suspicion and disdain
The landscape's formed of canvasses
A false stream of blood flows down
And under the tree the stars glow fresh
The only passer by's a clown
The glass in the frame has cracked
An air defined uncertainly
Hovers between sound and thought
Between 'to be' and memory
O my abandoned youth is dead
Like a garland faded

Then the buck leapt up, and his head as a king's to a crown did go
Full high in the breeze, and he stood as if Death had the form of a deer;
And the two slim does long lazily stretching arose,
For their day-dream
slowlier
came to a close,
Till they woke and were still, breath-bound with waiting and wonder and fear.

Chaucer - Boethius |
|
O baffled, baulked, bent to the very earth,
Oppressed with myself that I have dared to open my mouth,
Aware now that, amid all the blab whose echoes recoil upon me, I have not
once had the least idea who or what I am,
But that before all my insolent poems, the real ME stands yet untouched,
untold, altogether unreached,
Withdrawn far, mocking me with mock-congratulatory signs and bows,
With peals of distant
ironical
laughter at every word I have written,
Pointing in silence to all these songs, and then to the sand beneath.

All gleamed compact and green with scale on scale,
But special burnishment adorned his mail
And special terror weighed upon his frown; 20
His punier
brethren
quaked before his tail,
Broad as a rafter, potent as a flail.

And hums; as who should say, you'l rue the time

Straightway I was 'ware,
So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move
Behind me, and drew me
backward
by the hair;
And a voice said in mastery, while I strove,--
"Guess now who holds thee!

The angelic

and the gentle air
Which long had held him fast in Cupid's snare.
