The rags of the sail
Are flickering in ribbons within the fierce gale:
From the stark night of vapours the dim rain is driven,
And when lightning is loosed, like a deluge from Heaven,
She sees the black trunks of the waterspouts spin _5
And bend, as if Heaven was ruining in,
Which they seemed to sustain with their
terrible
mass
As if ocean had sunk from beneath them: they pass
To their graves in the deep with an earthquake of sound,
And the waves and the thunders, made silent around, _10
Leave the wind to its echo.

Dante - La Divina Commedia |
|
Painters have painted their
swarming
groups, and the centre figure of all,
From the head of the centre figure spreading a nimbus of
gold-coloured light;
But I paint myriads of heads, but paint no head without its nimbus of gold-
coloured light;
From my hand, from the brain of every man and woman, it streams,
effulgently flowing for ever.

Hence to the shore, and to thy gallant bark;
First, hale her safe aground, then, hiding all
Your arms and
treasures
in the caverns, come
Thyself again, and hither lead thy friends.

Lascelles Abercrombie - Emblems of Love |

When the living leave us, moved, I gaze,
For to enter death, is
entering
the temple;
And when a man dies, and goes his way,
I see my own ascent, clear, like crystal.

19th Century French Poetry |

After walking up and down awhile in my
little room, I
suddenly
stopped short before him, and said to him,
angrily--
"It seems that it did not satisfy you that, thanks to you, I've been
wounded and at death's door, but that you must also want to kill my
mother as well.

Pushkin - Daughter of the Commandant |

Ma poi ch'i' fui al pie d'un colle giunto,
la dove
terminava
quella valle
che m'avea di paura il cor compunto,
guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle
vestite gia de' raggi del pianeta
che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle.

"
I once was a maid, tho' I cannot tell when,
And still my delight is in proper young men;
Some one of a troop of
dragoons
was my daddie,
No wonder I'm fond of a sodger laddie,
Sing, lal de lal, &c.

The hemlock's nature thrives on cold;
The gnash of northern winds
Is sweetest

His best Norwegian wines.
