The colored lanterns of passing ships, A tow of barges, an old gray fort;
And we aboard her are lulled to rest

By the song of the winds from the salt

And the wash of the waters her great prows part.

Coat sea and sky with heavenlier blue,
New tint the plumage of the birds,
And slough decay from grazing herds,
Sweep ruins from the scarped mountain,
Cleanse the torrent at the fountain,
Purge alpine air by towns defiled,
Bring to fair mother fairer child,
Not less renew the heart and brain,
Scatter the sloth, wash out the stain,
Make the aged eye sun-clear,
To parting soul bring

The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words
attitudes

The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete

As
the prophet who would bring to the world a great
possession
must go
forth into the desert to be alone until the kingdom comes to him from
within, so the poet must leave the world in order to gain the deeper
understanding, to be face to face with God.

Crushed by the overwhelming cloud
Depth of basalt and lavas
By even the enslaved echoes
Of a trumpet without power
What sepulchral shipwreck (you
Know it,
slobbering
there, foam)
Among hulks the supreme one
Flattened the naked mast too
Or that which, furious mistake
Of some noble ill-fate
All the vain abyss spread wide
In the so-white hair's trailing
Would have drowned miser-like
The childish flank of some Siren.

Walt Whitman - Leaves of Grass |
|
Like Parnassian pinnacle yet to be scaled,
In its form from afar, by the aspirant hailed;
On its side the rainbow plays,
And at eve, when the shadow sinks
sleeping
below,
The last slanting ray on its crest of snow
Makes its cap like a crater to blaze.

Hence the tune came
capering

While I traced the Rhone and Po;
Nor could Milan's Marvel woo me
From the spot englamoured so.

Fresh crush of leaves.
