Devouring
Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:

Of birds, those echoes in the ear,
Of song through greenery;

With tents and pavilions free,
And joy then comes to me
All through the

Groaning for water with armies of men so near;
The fall over cliff, the clutch at the rootless grass,
The beach rushing up, the whirling, the turning headfirst;
Stiff writhings of strychnine, taken in error or haste,
Angina pectoris, shudders of the heart;
Failure and crushing by flying weight to the ground,
Claws and jaws, the stink of a lion's breath;
Swimming, a white belly, a crescent of teeth,
Agony, and a spirting shredded limb,
And crimson blood
staining
the green water;
And, horror of horrors, the slow grind on the rack,
The breaking bones, the stretching and bursting skin,

The down-thrust mocking faces of cruel men,
With the power of mercy, who gloat upon shrieks for mercy.

Coleridge - Poems |

But surely France must be a pleasant place
That greets the
stranger
with so fair a face;
The English maiden blushes down the dance,
But few can equal the fair maid of France.

a Golden World whose porches round the heavens
And pillard halls & rooms recievd the eternal wandering stars
A wondrous golden Building; many a window many a door
And many a
division
let in & out into the vast unknown
[Cubed] Circled in infinite orb immoveable, within its arches all walls & cielings {According to Erdman, "The second reading is erased; yet it is supported by the reference back to "Cubes" and "window" in 33:4-5.

Blake - Zoas |

But hunger of new viands tempts his flock,
So that they needs into strange
pastures
wide
Must spread them: and the more remote from him
The stragglers wander, so much mole they come
Home to the sheep-fold, destitute of milk.

That it's

Troubador Verse |
|
O thou deep heaven,
unsullied
yet,
Into thy gulfs sublime--
Up azure tracts of flaming light--
Let my free pinion climb;
Till from my sight, in that clear light,
Earth and her crimes be gone--
The men who act the evil deeds--
The caitiffs who look on.
