Through most of European history, fine art and sumptuosity went hand in hand, as in the ostentatious decorations of opera and theater halls, the ornate frames around paintings, the formal dress of musicians, and the covers and
bindings
of old books.

Ya leve punto de luciente plata, [725]
Astro de clara lumbre sin mancilla,
El horizonte lóbrego dilata
Y allá en la sombra en
lontananza
brilla.

They are the runners in the sun,
Breathless and blinded by the race,
But we are
watchers
in the shade
Who speak with Wonder face to face.

A companion with whom I was
sailing one very windy but bright
moonlight
night, when the stars were
few and faint, thought that a man could get along with _them_, though
he was considerably reduced in his circumstances,--that they were a
kind of bread and cheese that never failed.

So Virgil, by adapting in his
Messianic Eclogue the refrain from the Song of the Fates
and by
borrowing
a line from the Ariadne at the crisis of
Dido's passion,* acknowledges, with the skill and the
generosity of a master, his debt to the bard whom the
unwritten law of the Augustan age did not permit him to
mention by name.

In A New Night
Woman I've lived with
Woman I live with
Woman I'll live with
Always the same
You need a red cloak
Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings
The reasons the proofs
Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs
Directions
detached
from the earth
In your eyes those that show us
Our infinite solitude
Is no more than they think exists
No one can know me more
More than you know me.
