You rise the water unfolds
You sleep the water flowers

And in which all is grounded
You make bubbles of silence in the desert of sound
You sing nocturnal hymns on the arcs of the rainbow
You are everywhere you abolish the roads
You

To the eternal youth of an exact flame
That veils Nature to reproduce her
Woman you show the world a body forever the same

I smile still at the proud woman
You treat like a beggar

And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night

Hard upon ether came the origins
Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in air
Midway between the earth and
mightiest
ether,--
For neither took them, since they weighed too little
To sink and settle, but too much to glide
Along the upmost shores; and yet they are
In such a wise midway between the twain
As ever to whirl their living bodies round,
And ever to dure as parts of the wide Whole;
In the same fashion as certain members may
In us remain at rest, whilst others move.

And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

Embalmed in darkness watchful, sweet, and still,
As is the brain's mood flattered by the swim
Of currents circumvolvent in the void,
To lie quite still and to become aware
Of the dim light cast by nocturnal skies
On a dim earth beyond the window-ledge,
So, isolate from the friendly company
Of the huge universe which turns without,
To brood apart in calm and joy awhile
Until the spirit sinks and scarcely knows
Whether self is, or if self only is,

Camoes - Lusiades |

Soon as the sun
Hath climb'd the middle heav'ns, the prophet old,
Emerging
while the breezy zephyr blows,
And cover'd with the scum of ocean, seeks 490
His spacious cove, in which outstretch'd he lies.

Odyssey - Cowper |

Pigs broke loose,
scrambled
west,
Scorned their loathsome stations,
Crossed the Appalachians,
Turned to roaming, foaming wild boars
Of the forest.

Faust, a Tragedy by Goethe |

LI
Silent and sad, he raised himself from ground,
And when he some few paces thence had gone,
His shield
unbraced
and helm and mail unbound,
He flung against the tomb; and thence, alone,
Afoot the moody monarch left that ground:
Yet not till he had given command to one
(Of his four squires was he) to do his hest
Relating to those captives, as exprest.

Edgar Allen Poe |

Non chant per auzel ni per flor
I do not sing for bird or flower,
Nor for snow, now, nor for ice,
Nor for warmth or the cold's power,
Nor for the fields' fresh paradise;
Nor for any pleasure do I sing
Nor indeed have I been a singer,
But for my mistress, all my longing,
For on earth none
lovelier
may linger.

Troubador Verse |
|
I, Sappho, have made love the mastery
Most sacred over man; but I have made it
A safety of things gloriously known,
To house his spirit from the
darkness
blowing
Out of the vast unknown: from me he hath
The wilful mind to make his fortune fair.
