Nor in the fond embrace, embraces give:
His substance vanish'd, and his

So, when man's arms had circled all man's race,
The liberal compass of his warm embrace
Stretched bigger yet in the dark bounds of space;
With hands a-grope he felt smooth Nature's grace,
Drew her to breast and kissed her sweetheart face:
Yea man found
neighbors
in great hills and trees
And streams and clouds and suns and birds and bees,
And throbbed with neighbor-loves in loving these.

Odyssey - Pope |

And since I am so loyal to you, lady,
That Love grants me no power to love elsewhere,
But lets me pay court to one, maybe,
Who might remove the heavy grief I bear;
So when I think of you to whom joy bows,
All other love's
forgotten
and displaced:
With her my heart holds dearest, there it stays.

Troubador Verse |

Mammon also advised
them to keep the peace, and make the best they could of Hell, a policy
received with applause; but then Beelzebub, "than whom, Satan except,
none higher sat," rose, and with a look which "drew audience and
attention still as night,"
developed
the suggestion previously made by
Satan, that they should attack Heaven's High Arbitrator through His
new-created Man, waste his creation, and "drive as we are driven.

THE PARDAH NASHIN
Her life is a revolving dream
Of languid and sequestered ease;
Her girdles and her fillets gleam
Like
changing
fires on sunset seas;
Her raiment is like morning mist,
Shot opal, gold and amethyst.

Sarojini Naidu - Golden Threshold |

He like the warlike eagle speeds his pace
(Swiftest and
strongest
of the aerial race);
Far as a spear can fly, Achilles springs;
At every bound his clanging armour rings:
Now here, now there, he turns on every side,
And winds his course before the following tide;
The waves flow after, wheresoe'er he wheels,
And gather fast, and murmur at his heels.
