Orso, my friend, was never stream, nor lake,
Nor sea in whose broad lap all rivers fall,
Nor shadow of high hill, or wood, or wall,
Nor heaven-obscuring clouds which
torrents
make,
Nor other obstacles my grief so wake,
Whatever most that lovely face may pall,
As hiding the bright eyes which me enthrall,
That veil which bids my heart "Now burn or break,"
And, whether by humility or pride,
Their glance, extinguishing mine every joy,
Conducts me prematurely to my tomb:
Also my soul by one fair hand is tried,
Cunning and careful ever to annoy,
'Gainst my poor eyes a rock that has become.

For each ecstatic instant
We must an anguish pay
In keen and

To the ecstasy.

for of all trav'llers here arrived
From distant regions, I have none received
Discrete
as thou, or whom I more have lov'd,
So just thy matter is, and with such grace
Express'd.

Odyssey - Cowper |

Il le prend par le bras, arrache le velours
Des rideaux, et lui montre en bas les larges cours
Ou fourmille, ou fourmille, ou se leve la foule,
La foule epouvantable avec des bruits de houle
Hurlant comme une chienne, hurlant comme une mer,
Avec ses batons forts et ses piques de fer,
Ses tambours, ses grands cris de halles et de bouges,
Tas sombre de
haillons
saignants de bonnets rouges;
L'Homme, par la fenetre ouverte, montre tout
Au roi pale, et suant qui chancelle debout,
Malade a regarder cela!

Yet in the soul of earth,
Deep in the primal ground,
Its searching roots are wound,
And centuries have
struggled
toward its birth.

Li Bai - Chinese |
|
But when he saw the evening star above
Leucadia's far-projecting rock of woe,
And hailed the last resort of
fruitless
love,
He felt, or deemed he felt, no common glow:
And as the stately vessel glided slow
Beneath the shadow of that ancient mount,
He watched the billows' melancholy flow,
And, sunk albeit in thought as he was wont,
More placid seemed his eye, and smooth his pallid front.

It happens also, when less sharp the blow,
The vital motions which are left are wont
Oft to win out--win out, and stop and still
The uncouth tumults
gendered
by the blow,
And call each part to its own courses back,
And shake away the motion of death which now
Begins its own dominion in the body,
And kindle anew the senses almost gone.

There's grief of want, and grief of cold, --
A sort they call 'despair;'
There's
banishment
from native eyes,
In sight of native air.

Ce qu'il faut a ce coeur profond comme un abime,
C'est vous, Lady Macbeth, ame puissante au crime,
Reve d'Eschyle eclos au climat des autans;
Ou bien toi, grand Nuit, fille de Michel-Ange,
Qui tors
paisiblement
dans une pose etrange
Tes appas faconnes aux bouches des Titans!
