Some spumy, fiery, ignis fatuus matter,
Such as the slightest breath of air might scatter;
With arch-alacrity and conscious glee,
(Nature may have her whim as well as we,
Her Hogarth-art perhaps she meant to show it),
She forms the thing and christens it--a Poet:
Creature, tho' oft the prey of care and sorrow,
When blest to-day, unmindful of to-morrow;
A being form'd t' amuse his graver friends,
Admir'd and prais'd--and there the homage ends;
A mortal quite unfit for Fortune's strife,
Yet oft the sport of all the ills of life;
Prone to enjoy each pleasure riches give,
Yet haply wanting wherewithal to live;
Longing to wipe each tear, to heal each groan,
Yet
frequent
all unheeded in his own.

In the day of the blossoming.

bluff peut
réussir
est difficile à déterminer; si l'un va trop loin,
l'autre qui avait jusque là cédé, s'avance à son tour; le premier,
ne sachant plus changer de méthode, habitué à l'idée qu'avoir l'air
de ne pas craindre la rupture est la meilleure manière de l'éviter (ce
que j'avais fait ce soir avec Albertine), et d'ailleurs poussé à
préférer, par fierté, succomber plutôt que de céder, persévère
dans sa menace jusqu'au moment où personne ne peut plus reculer.
