Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in air
Midway between the earth and

For neither took them, since they weighed too little
To sink and settle, but too much to glide
Along the upmost shores; and yet they are
In such a wise midway between the twain
As ever to whirl their living bodies round,
And ever to dure as parts of the wide Whole;
In the same fashion as certain members may
In us remain at rest, whilst others move.

He may be found, I dare say, to exaggerate the
blessing of that mode of life which, in
proportion
to our increasing
activity and intelligence, has sunk in the estimation of Protestant
society, so that we compare the whole monkish fraternity with the drones
in a hive, an ignavum pecus, whom the other bees are right in expelling.

Les Amours de Cassandre: CLXXIV
Now when the sky and when the earth again
Fill with ice: cold hail scattered everywhere,
And the horror of the worst months of the year
Makes the grass bristle across the plain:
Now when the wind
mutinously
prowling,
Cracks the boulders, and uproots the trees,
When the redoubled roaring of the seas
Fills all the shoreline with its wild surging:
Love burns me, and winter's bitter cold
That freezes all, cannot freeze the old
Ardour in my heart that lasts forever.
