” To which the beast “I swear to thee, Cytherean,”
answered
he, “by thyself and by thy husband, and by these my bonds and these thy huntsmen, never would I have smitten thy pretty husband but that I saw him there beautiful as a statue, and could not withstand the burning mad desire to give his naked thigh a kiss.

So becomes it a youth to quit him well
with his father's friends, by fee and gift,
that to aid him, aged, in after days,
come
warriors
willing, should war draw nigh,
liegemen loyal: by lauded deeds
shall an earl have honor in every clan.

Now you're only born in a cage
In Hamburg, among the Germans.

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |
|
[O]
In
solitudes
I've ever loved to abide
By woods and streams, and shunn'd the evil-hearted,
Who from the path of heaven are foully parted;
Sweet Tuscany has been to me denied,
Whose sunny realms I would have gladly haunted,
Yet still the Sorgue his beauteous hills among
Has lent auxiliar murmurs to my song,
And echoed to the plaints my love has chanted.
