LXIV
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defac'd
The rich-proud cost of outworn buried age;
When sometime lofty towers I see down-raz'd,
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss, and loss with store;
When I have seen such
interchange
of state,
Or state itself confounded, to decay;
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate--
That Time will come and take my love away.

Utterly naked in my arms, to lie and wait,

To be so tickled, they would change their state
And

with those dancing chips,
O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait,
Making dead wood more bless'd than living lips.

Shakespeare - Sonnets |

Over the mounds stood the nettles in pride,
And, where no fine flowers, there kind weeds dared to wave;
It seemed but as
yesterday
she lay by my side,
And now my dog ate of the grass on her grave.

Abercrombie - Georgian Poetry 1920-22 |

El carïado, lívido esqueleto,
Los fríos, largos y asquerosos brazos, [1555]
Le enreda en tanto en apretados lazos,
Y ávido le acaricia en su ansiedad;
Y con su boca cavernosa busca
La boca a Montemar, y a su mejilla
La árida,
descarnada
y amarilla [1560]
Junta y refriega repugnante faz.

Fichte - Germany_and_the_French_Revolution |

She looks a sea Cybele, fresh from ocean,
Rising with her tiara of proud towers
At airy distance, with
majestic
motion,
A ruler of the waters and their powers:
And such she was; her daughters had their dowers
From spoils of nations, and the exhaustless East
Poured in her lap all gems in sparkling showers.
