Little Air
I
Any solitude
Without a swan or quai
Mirrors its disuse
In the gaze I abdicate
Far from that pride's excess
Too high to enfold
In which many a sky paints itself
With the twilight's gold
But
languorously
flows beside
Like white linen laid aside
Such fleeting birds as dive
Exultantly at my side
Into the wave made you
Your exultation nude.

che tanto 270
Passer mai solitario in alcun tetto 201
Perche al viso d' Amor portava insegna 57
Perche la vita e breve 68
Perche quel che mi trasse ad amar prima 60
Perch' io t' abbia guardato di menzogna 49
Per far una leggiadra sua vendetta 2
Per mezzo i boschi inospiti e selvaggi 163
Per mirar Policleto a prova fiso 80
Perseguendomi Amor al luogo usato 103
Piangete, donne, e con voi pianga Amore 90
Pien di quella ineffabile dolcezza 107
Pien d' un vago pensier, che me desvia 159
Piovonmi amare lagrime dal viso 14
Piu di me lieta non si vede a terra 25
Piu volte Amor m' avea gia detto: scrivi 91
Piu volte gia dal bel sembiante umano 160
Po, ben puo' tu portartene la scorza 166
Poco era ad appressarsi agli occhi miei 53
Poiche la vista angelica serena 242
Poi che 'l cammin m' e chiuso di mercede 129
Poi che mia speme e lunga a venir troppo 87
Poiche per mio destino 76
Poi che voi ed io piu volte abbiam provato 94
Pommi ove 'l sol occide i fiori e l' erba 142
Qual donna attende a gloriosa fama 225
Qual mio destin, qual forza o qual inganno 198
Qual paura ho, quando mi torna a mente 217
Qual piu diversa e nova 133
Qual ventura mi fu, quando dall' uno 205
Quand' io mi volgo indietro a mirar gli anni 258
Quand' io movo i sospiri a chiamar voi 5
Quand' io son tutto volto in quella parte 15
Quand' io veggio dal ciel scender l' Aurora 252
Quand' io v' odo parlar si dolcemente 141
Quando Amor i begli occhi a terra inchina 158
Quando dal proprio sito si rimove 44
Quando fra l' altre donne ad ora ad ora 11
Quando giugne per gli occhi al cor profondo 92
Quando giunse a Simon l' alto concetto 81
Quando il soave mio fido conforto 305
Quando 'l pianeta che distingue l' ore 8
Quando 'l sol bagna in mar l' aurato carro 199
Quando 'l voler, che con duo sproni ardenti 144
Quando mi vene innanzi il tempo e 'l loco 163
Quanta invidia ti porto, avara terra 259
Quante fiate al mio dolce ricetto 245
Quanto piu disiose l' ali spando 138
Quanto piu m' avvicino al giorno estremo 35
Quel, che d' odore e di color vincea 295
Quel ch' infinita providenza ed arte 4
Quel che 'n Tessaglia ebbe le man si pronte 46
Quel foco, ch' io pensai che fosse spento 57
Quella fenestra, ove l' un sol si vede 95
Quell' antiquo mio dolce empio signore 307
Quella per cui con Sorga ho cangiat' Arno 265
Quelle pietose rime, in ch' io m' accorsi 111
Quel rosignuol che si soave piagne 268
Quel sempre acerbo ed onorato giorno 151
Quel sol che mi mostrava il cammin destro 264
Quel vago, dolce, caro, onesto sguardo 286
Quel vago impallidir che 'l dolce riso 113
Questa Fenice dell' aurata piuma 169
Quest' anima gentil che si diparte 35
Questa umil fera, un cor di tigre o d' orsa 148
Questro nostro caduco e fragil bene 293
Qui dove mezzo son, Sennuccio mio 105
Rapido fiume che d' alpestra vena 189
Real natura, angelico intelletto 211
Rimansi addietro il sestodecim' anno 108
Ripensando a quel ch' oggi il ciel onora 298
Rotta e l' alta Colonna e 'l verde Lauro 235
S' Amore o Morte non da qualche stroppio 44
S' Amor non e, che dunque e quel ch' i' sento 130
S' Amor novo consiglio non n' apporta 242
Se al
principio
risponde il fine e 'l mezzo 81
Se bianche non son prima ambe le tempie 85
Se col cieco desir che 'l cor distrugge 57
Se lamentar angelli, o verdi fronde 243
Se la mia vita dall' aspro tormento 10
Se 'l dolce sguardo di costei m' ancide 168
Se 'l onorata fronde, che prescrive 24
Se 'l pensier che mi strugge 114
Se 'l sasso ond' e piu chiusa questa valle 107
Se mai foco per foco non si spense 49
Sennuccio, i' vo' che sappi in qual maniera 104
Sennuccio mio, benche doglioso e solo 249
Sento l' aura mia antica, e i dolci colli 274
Se quell' aura soave de' sospiri 249
Se Virgilio ed Omero avessin visto 170
Se voi poteste per turbati segni 63
Si breve e 'l tempo e 'l pensier si veloce 247
Siccome eterna vita e veder Dio 173
Si e debile il filo a cui s' attene 40
Signor mio caro, ogni pensier mi tira 231
S' il dissi mai, ch' i' venga in odio a quella 183
S' io avessi pensato che si care 254
S' io credessi per morte essere scarce 39
S' io fossi stato fermo alia spelunca 157
Si tosto come avvien che l' arco scocchi 87
Si traviato e 'l folle mio desio 5
Solea dalla fontana di mia vita 287
Solea lontana in sonno consolarme 218
Soleano i miei pensier soavemente 250
Soleasi nel mio cor star bella e viva 255
Solo e pensoso i piu deserti campi 38
Son animali al mondo di si altera 16
S' onesto amor puo meritar mercede 291
Spinse amor e dolor ore ir non debbe 300
Spirto felice, che si dolcemente 316
Spirto gentil che quelle membra reggi 54
Standomi un giorno solo alia finestra 277
Stiamo, Amor, a veder la gloria nostra 174
S' una fede amorosa, un cor non finto 200
Tacer non posso, e temo non adopre 280
Tempo era omai da trovar pace o tregua 272
Tennemi Amor anni ventuno ardendo 314
Tornami a mente, anzi v' e dentro quella 293
Tranquillo porto avea mostrato Amore 273
Tra quantunque leggiadre donne e belle 196
Tutta la mia fiorita e verde etade 271
Tutto 'l di piango; e poi la notte, quando 195
Una candida cerva sopra l' erba 172
Una donna piu bella assai che 'l sole 108
Vago augelletto che cantando vai 317
Valle che de' lamenti miei se' piena 260
Verdi panni, sanguigni, oscuri o persi 32
Vergine bella che di sol vestita 318
Vergognando talor ch' ancor si taccia 16

Vincitore Alessandro l' ira vinse 205
Vinse Annibal, e non seppe usar poi 98
Vive faville uscian de' duo bei lumi 223

Easy
Easy and beautiful under
your eyelids
As the meeting of pleasure
Dance and the rest
I spoke the fever
The best reason for fire
That you might be pale and luminous
A thousand fruitful poses
A thousand ravaged embraces
Repeated move to erase themselves
You grow dark you unveil yourself
A mask you
control it
It deeply resembles you
And you seem nothing but lovelier naked
Naked in shadow and dazzlingly naked
Like a sky
shivering
with flashes of lightning
You reveal yourself to you
To reveal yourself to others
Talking of Power and Love
Between all my torments between death and self
Between my despair and the reason for living
There is injustice and this evil of men
That I cannot accept there is my anger
There are the blood-coloured fighters of Spain
There are the sky-coloured fighters of Greece
The bread the blood the sky and the right to hope
For all the innocents who hate evil
The light is always close to dying
Life always ready to become earth
But spring is reborn that is never done with
A bud lifts from dark and the warmth settles
And the warmth will have the right of the selfish
Their atrophied senses will not resist
I hear the fire talk lightly of coolness
I hear a man speak what he has not known
You who were my flesh's sensitive conscience
You I love forever you who made me
You will not tolerate oppression or injury
You'll sing in dream of earthly happiness
You'll dream of freedom and I'll continue you
The Beloved
She is standing on my eyelids
And her hair is wound in mine,
She has the form of my hands,
She has the colour of my eyes,
She is swallowed by my shadow
Like a stone against the sky.

Paul Eluard - Poems |

At dingy desks they toil by day; at night
To gloomy chambers go uncheered by light,
Where pillars rudely grayed by rusty nail
Of heavy hours reveal the weary tale;
Where
spiteful
ushers grin, all pleased to make
Long scribbled lines the price of each mistake.

Beneath the armour of the Knight
Behind the chain's black links
Death crouches and thinks and thinks:
"When will the sword's blade sharp and bright
Forth from the
scabbard
spring
And cut the network of the cloak
Enmeshing me ring on ring--
When will the foe's delivering stroke
Set me free
To dance
And sing?

There was a use in Hesperian Latium, which the Alban towns kept in holy

Were imaged by the water's love
Of that fair forest green:
And all was interfused beneath
With an Elysian glow,
An

without a breath,
A softer day below.
