Watering the hard roots of that laurel green,

After a thousand mazes overgone,
At last, with sudden step, he came upon
A chamber, myrtle wall'd, embowered high, 390
Full of light, incense, tender minstrelsy,
And more of beautiful and strange beside:
For on a silken couch of rosy pride,
In midst of all, there lay a sleeping youth
Of fondest beauty; fonder, in fair sooth,
Than sighs could fathom, or contentment reach:
And coverlids gold-tinted like the peach,
Or ripe October's faded marigolds,
Fell sleek about him in a thousand folds--
Not hiding up an Apollonian curve 400
Of neck and shoulder, nor the tenting swerve
Of knee from knee, nor ankles
pointing
light;
But rather, giving them to the filled sight
Officiously.

Hoisting

But if 'twere possible,
Much rather might this very power of mind
Be in the head, the
shoulders
or the heels,
And, born in any part soever, yet
In the same man, in the same vessel abide.

Horace - Odes, Carmen |
|
Leaves of day and moss of dew,
Reeds of breeze, smiles perfumed,
Wings covering the world of light,
Boats charged with sky and sea,
Hunters of sound and sources of colour
Perfume
enclosed
by a covey of dawns
that beds forever on the straw of stars,
As the day depends on innocence
The whole world depends on your pure eyes
And all my blood flows under their sight.

Paul Eluard - Poems |
|
Yet there is something round thy lips
That
prophesies
the coming doom,
The soft, gray herald-shadow ere the eclipse
Notches the perfect disk with gloom;
A something that would banish thee,
And thine untamed pursuer be,
From men and their unworthy fates,
Though Florence had not shut her gates,
And Grief had loosed her clutch and let thee free.

Se mo
sonasser
tutte quelle lingue
che Polimnia con le suore fero
del latte lor dolcissimo piu pingue,
per aiutarmi, al millesmo del vero
non si verria, cantando il santo riso
e quanto il santo aspetto facea mero;
e cosi, figurando il paradiso,
convien saltar lo sacrato poema,
come chi trova suo cammin riciso.

Then look out for the little brook in March,
When the rivers overflow,
And the snows come
hurrying
from the hills,
And the bridges often go.
