Demosthenes - Against Midias |
|
Foreman
Long was my night of wake at Anˁamayn
While sleepless at the ceaseless stars I gazed
How can I age in life while a slain man
Of Taghlib still calls for a man to slay
Now chide the eyes for tears shed over ruins
In the breast a wound is torn over Kulayb
In the breast there is a need unsatisfied
So long as a dove among the branches wails
How can he ever weep over ruined things
Who is pledged to war with men across the ages
How can I forget you Kulayb when I've not quelled
The sorrow whelming me The bloodparched rage
My heart today make good your bloodwit vow
When they ride out at dawn — retaliate
They fetch their bows and we flash lightning bolts
As stallions threatening their stallion prey
We steel ourselves beneath their flashing steel
Till they fall pounded by our long hard blades
And can keep up no more We keep attacking
For the man who keeps the field is war's true mate

Deflationary note:
While pre-Islamic tribal poetry has a number of facets to it and might be summarized very crudely as a literature of love, loss, pride and war, the social order it appears to suggest is dominated by feuding, ancient grudges and warfare in defense of honor, a world in which existence itself was a dangerous game, where stoicism and
hardiness
were the only bulwarks against callous fate and inevitable heartbreak.

could not blame the wariness and reservedness of
the other, and thought their apprehension of being
betrayed, (which in the language of that time was
called -trepanned,) which befell some men every day,
very reasonable ; yet the confidence of many honest
men, who were sure to pay dear for any rash under-
taking, and their presumption in appointing a per-
emptory day for a general rendezvous over the king-
dom, but especially the division of his friends, and
sharpness against those upon whom he principally
relied, was the cause of his sending over the lord
Rochester, and of his own concealment in Zealand ;
the success whereof, and the ill consequence of those
precipitate resolutions, in the slaughter of many
worthy and gallant gentlemen with all the circum-

Lucretius |

Yet though the hideous prison-wall
Still hems him round and round,
And a spirit may not walk by night
That is with fetters bound,
And a spirit may but weep that lies
In such unholy ground,
He is at peace--this
wretched
man--
At peace, or will be soon:
There is no thing to make him mad,
Nor does Terror walk at noon,
For the lampless Earth in which he lies
Has neither Sun nor Moon.

Sur La Mort de Marie: IV
As in May month, on its stem we see the rose
In its sweet youthfulness, in its freshest flower,
Making the heavens jealous with living colour,
Dawn sprinkles it with tears in the morning glow:
Grace lies in all its petals, and love, I know,
Scenting the trees and
scenting
the garden's bower,
But, assaulted by scorching heat or a shower,
Languishing, it dies, and petals on petals flow.

It was in just
this spirit and no other, that at a later date the
moral philosophers of Greece conceived the eyes
of God as still looking down on the moral struggle,
the heroism, and the self-torture of the virtuous;
the Heracles of duty was on a stage, and was
conscious
of the fact ; virtue without witnesses
was something quite unthinkable for this nation
of actors.
