To see him in my jaws--your lackey-crew--

If I say 'white' or 'purple' in an
ordinary line of poetry, they evoke emotions so exclusively that I
cannot say why they move me; but if I say them in the same mood, in
the same breath with such obvious intellectual symbols as a cross or a
crown of thorns, I think of purity and sovereignty; while innumerable
other meanings, which are held to one another by the bondage of subtle
suggestion, and alike in the emotions and in the intellect, move
visibly through my mind, and move invisibly beyond the threshold of
sleep, casting lights and shadows of an
indefinable
wisdom on what
had seemed before, it may be, but sterility and noisy violence.

Goethe - Erotica Romana |
|
So little cause for carollings
Of such
ecstatic
sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.

Medusas, miserable heads
With hairs of violet
You enjoy the hurricane
And I enjoy the very same.

Li Bai - Chinese |
|
Ages since the
vanquished
bled
Round my mother's marriage-bed;
There the ravens feasted far
About the open house of war:
When Severn down to Buildwas ran
Coloured with the death of man,
Couched upon her brother's grave
The Saxon got me on the slave.

Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association |
|
I see men's faces grin with
helpless
lust
About me; crooked hands reach out to please
Their hot nerves with the flower of my skin;
I see the eyes imagining enjoyment,
The arms twitching to seize me, and the minds
Inflamed like the glee-kindled hearts of fiends.
