In dulcet streams, in flutes' and cornets' notes,

Subtler than ever, more harmony, as if born here, related here,
Not to the city's fresco'd rooms, not to the

Sounds, echoes, wandering strains, as really here at home,
Sonnambula's innocent love, trios with Norma's anguish,

How many a holy and obsequious tear
Hath dear
religious
love stol'n from mine eye,
As interest of the dead, which now appear
But things remov'd that hidden in thee lie!

Shakespeare - Sonnets |
|
In my youth's summer I did sing of One,
The
wandering
outlaw of his own dark mind;
Again I seize the theme, then but begun,
And bear it with me, as the rushing wind
Bears the cloud onwards: in that tale I find
The furrows of long thought, and dried-up tears,
Which, ebbing, leave a sterile track behind,
O'er which all heavily the journeying years
Plod the last sands of life--where not a flower appears.

An old-time freighter is drawing nearer, "City of Taunton"
westward

squandered
treasure
More than a red lip with a red tip
And more than a white leg with a white foot
Where then do we think we are?

Paul Eluard - Poems |

I thought you were like the man who clung to the bridge:[24]
Not guessing I should climb the Look-for-Husband Terrace,[25]
But next year you went far away,
To Ch'u-t'ang and the
Whirling
Water Rocks.

And well he loved to quit his home
And, Calmuck, in his wagon roam
To read new
landscapes
and old skies;--
But oh, to see his solar eyes
Like meteors which chose their way
And rived the dark like a new day!

Thomas Chatterton - Rowley Poems |

KAU}
The times are now returnd upon us, we have given ourselves
To scorn and now are scorned by the slaves of our enemies
Our beauty is coverd over with clay & ashes, & our backs
Furrowd with whips, & our flesh bruised with the heavy basket
Forgive us O thou piteous one whom we have offended, forgive
The weak
remaining
shadow of Vala that returns in sorrow to thee.
