Not the raging fire's furious reign,
Nor the cutting edge of conquering blade,
Nor the havoc
ruthless
soldiers made,
In sacking you, Rome, ever and again,
Nor the tricks that fickle fortune played,
Nor envious centuries corrosive rain,
Nor the spite of men, nor gods' disdain,
Nor your own power in civil strife displayed,
Nor the impetuous storms that you withstood,
Nor the river-god's winding course in flood,
That has so often drowned you in its thunder,
Not all combined have so abased your pride,
As that this nothing left you, by Time's tide,
Still makes the world halt here, and gaze in wonder.

"Literary" epic is as close to its subject as "authentic"; but, as a
general rule, "authentic" epic, in response to its surrounding needs,
has a simple and concrete subject, and the closeness of the poet to this
is therefore more obvious than in "literary" epic, which (again in
response to surrounding needs) has been driven to take for subject some
great
abstract
idea and display this in a concrete but only ostensible
subject.

consolation in its turn
has its root - its base -
absolute - in what
(if we wish
for example a
dead being to live in
us, thought -
is his being, his
thought in effect)
ever he has of the best
that transpires, through our
love and the care
we take
of being -
(being, being
simply moral and
about thought)
there is in that a
magnificent beyond
that rediscovers its
truth - so much
purer and lovelier than
the absolute rupture
of death - become
little by little as illusory
as absolute ( so we're
allowed to seem
to forget the pain)
- as this illusion
of
survival
in
us, becomes absolutely
illusory - (there is
unreality in both
cases) has been terrible
and true

For strange it was to see him pass
With a step so light and gay,
And strange it was to see him look
So
wistfully
at the day,
And strange it was to think that he
Had such a debt to pay.

Epic of Gilgamesh |

O Sicilian shores of a marshy calm
My vanity
plunders
vying with the sun,
Silent beneath scintillating flowers, RELATE
'That I was cutting hollow reeds here tamed
By talent: when, on the green gold of distant
Verdure offering its vine to the fountains,
An animal whiteness undulates to rest:
And as a slow prelude in which the pipes exist
This flight of swans, no, of Naiads cower
Or plunge.

But tell me true,
For I must ever doubt though ne'er so sure,
Is not thy
kindness
subtle, covetous,
If not a usuring kindness, and as rich men deal gifts,
Expecting in return twenty for one?

"
As in memorial of the buried, drawn
Upon earth-level tombs, the sculptur'd form
Of what was once, appears (at sight whereof
Tears often stream forth by remembrance wak'd,
Whose sacred stings the piteous only feel),
So saw I there, but with more curious skill
Of
portraiture
o'erwrought, whate'er of space
From forth the mountain stretches.
