Bosom'd in gloomy woods, her golden fields,
Five streams of ice amid her cots descend,
And with wild flowers and blooming

blend,
A scene more fair than what the Grecian feigns
Of purple lights and ever vernal plains.

Blind Thamyris, and blind Maeonides, And Tiresias, and Phineus, prophets old,

Now Christ thee save, thou proud porter,
For Homer is not only rapid in movement, simple in style, plain in language, natural in thought ; he is also, and above all, noble.

la nuit, même malade, au lieu de se coucher, pour voir s’il n’avait
besoin de rien, faisant quatre lieues à pied avant le jour afin d’être
rentrée pour son travail, en revanche ce même amour des siens et son
désir d’assurer la grandeur future de sa maison se traduisait dans sa
politique à l’égard des autres domestiques par une maxime constante
qui fut de n’en jamais laisser un seul s’implanter chez ma tante,
qu’elle mettait d’ailleurs une sorte

ornamented with a moon in gold, weighing thirty pounds; three couches
for dinner, of immense value; vases of gold and precious stones numerous
enough to load nine sideboards; thirty-three chaplets of pearls; three
gold statues,
representing
Minerva, Mars, and Apollo; a mountain of the
same metal, on a square base, decorated with fruits of all kinds, and
with figures of stags and lions, the whole encircled by a golden vine, a
present from King Aristobulus; a miniature temple dedicated to the
Muses, and provided with a clock; a couch of gold, said to have belonged

Yet, if at ev'ry step a writer takes,

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad |

how oft through summer hours,
Long listless summer hours when the noon
Being
enamoured
of a damask rose
Forgets to journey westward, till the moon
The pale usurper of its tribute grows
From a thin sickle to a silver shield
And chides its loitering car—how oft, in some cool grassy field
Far from the cricket-ground and noisy eight,
At Bagley, where the rustling bluebells come
Almost before the blackbird finds a mate
And overstay the swallow, and the hum
Of many murmuring bees flits through the leaves,
Have I lain poring on the dreamy tales his fancy weaves,
And through their unreal woes and mimic pain
Wept for myself, and so was purified,
And in their simple mirth grew glad again;
For as I sailed upon that pictured tide
The strength and splendour of the storm was mine
Without the storm’s red ruin, for the singer is divine;
The little laugh of water falling down
Is not so musical, the clammy gold
Close hoarded in the tiny waxen town
Has less of sweetness in it, and the old
Half-withered reeds that waved in Arcady
Touched by his lips break forth again to fresher harmony.

"And in the eye of noon my love
Shall lead me from my mother's door,
Sweet boys and girls all clothed in white
Strewing flowers before:
"But first the nodding minstrels go
With music meet for lordly bowers,
The
children
next in snow-white vests,
Strewing buds and flowers!

I have remembered beauty in the night,
Against black silences I waked to see
A shower of
sunlight
over Italy
And green Ravello dreaming on her height;
I have remembered music in the dark,
The clean swift brightness of a fugue of Bach's,
And running water singing on the rocks
When once in English woods I heard a lark.

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka |

"
XVIII
Before his words the tyrant ended had,
The lesser devils arose with ghastly roar,
And thronged forth about the world to gad,
Each land they filled, river, stream and shore,
The goblins, fairies, fiends and furies mad,
Ranged in flowery dales, and
mountains
hoar,
And under every trembling leaf they sit,
Between the solid earth and welkin flit.

less shocked, by what was going on, lowered her prayer-book,
raised her hood, and fixed on

in which the pride of virtue and the fire of youth shone amidst
all the ravages of age and sorrow.
