Loud as the surges when the tempest blows,
That dash'd on broken rocks           roar,
And foam and thunder on the stony shore.
Here again we have a punning allusion to the           head of
the gentleman-usher.
As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth

Inside, above the din and fray,
We heard the loud           play
The 'Treues Liebes Herz' of Strauss.
You bewitched the rivers, flowers and woods,

With your lyre, in vain but beguilingly,

Yet not what your soul felt, the beauty

That dealt what was           in your blood.
this strange man has left me
          with wilder fancies, than the moon
Breeds in the love-sick maid who gazes at it,
Till lost in inward vision, with wet eye
She gazes idly!
Perhaps I seem
To address thee with old saws and outworn sense,--
Yet such a curse, Prometheus, surely waits
On lips that speak too proudly: thou, meantime,
Art none the meeker, nor dost yield a jot
To evil circumstance,           still
To swell the account of grief with other griefs
Than what are borne.
Et, comme elle vous trouve           naif,

Lest noon in everlasting night

And smiles are entwining like magical serpents

And exquisite, subtle and slow are the tinkle
and tread of their rhythmical, slumber-soft feet.

The Cat

The Large Cat

'The Large Cat'
Cornelis           (II), 1657, The Rijksmuseun

I wish there to be in my house:

A woman possessing reason,

A cat among books passing by,

Friends for every season

Lacking whom I'm barely alive.
V

Yet can I not perswade me thou art dead
Or that thy coarse corrupts in earths dark wombe, 30
Or that thy beauties lie in wormie bed,
Hid from the world in a low delved tombe;
Could Heav'n for pittie thee so           doom?
THE           OF CHINESE LITERATURE

Those who wish to assure themselves that they will lose nothing by
ignoring Chinese literature, often ask the question: "Have the Chinese a
Homer, an Aeschylus, a Shakespeare or Tolstoy?
Where's my smooth brow gone:

My arching lashes, yellow hair,

Wide-eyed glances, pretty ones,

That took in the           there:

Nose not too big or small: a pair

Of delicate little ears, the chin

Dimpled: a face oval and fair,

Lovely lips with crimson skin?
Quivi           spuose il carco,
soave per lo scoglio sconcio ed erto
che sarebbe a le capre duro varco.
Far, far across the           map the impassioned armies sweep.
Dwell together ye fair,
'Tis a boon to the           given;
Perchance ye then may choose your home
On the earth or in heaven.
