So hedges off

And thus the sense, its motions all deranged,
Retires down deep within; and since there's naught,
As 'twere, to prop the frame, the body weakens,
And all the members languish, and the arms
And eyelids fall, and, as ye lie abed,
Even there the houghs will sag and loose their powers.

a smaller one a few feet higher, which served for a hand-rail.

Silently shining with a fire sublime,
They said, "O friendly lights, which long have been
Mirrors to us where gladly we were seen,
Heaven waits for you, as ye shall know in time;
Who bound us to the earth
dissolves
our bond,
But wills in your despite that you shall live beyond.

And all the figures in the story,
instead of being left broadly comic or having their psychology neglected,
are treated delicately, sympathetically, with just that faint touch of
satire, or at least of amusement, which is almost
inseparable
from a close
interest in character.

--Les lunettes de la grand'mere
Et son nez long
Dans son missel, le pot de biere
Cercle de plomb
Moussant entre trois larges pipes
Qui, cranement,
Fument: dix, quinze, immenses lippes
Qui, tout fumant,
Happent le jambon aux fourchettes
Tant, tant et plus;
Le feu qui claire les couchettes,
Et les bahuts:
Les fesses luisantes et grasses
D'un gros enfant
Qui fourre, a genoux, dans des tasses,
Son museau blanc
Frole par un mufle qui gronde
D'un ton gentil,
Et
pourleche
la face ronde
Du cher petit.

Where is that wise girl Eloise,
For whom was gelded, to his great shame,
Peter Abelard, at Saint Denis,
For love of her enduring pain,
And where now is that queen again,
Who
commanded
them to throw
Buridan in a sack, in the Seine?
