Mère des jeux latins et des voluptés grecques,

Chauds comme les soleils, frais comme les pastèques,
Font l'ornement des nuits et des jours glorieux;
Mère des jeux latins et des voluptés grecques,
Lesbos, où les baisers sont comme les cascades
Qui se jettent sans peur dans les gouffres sans fonds,
Et courent,
sanglotant

Orageux et secrets, fourmillants et profonds;
Lesbos, où les baisers sont comme les cascades!

Yet Mafra shall one moment claim delay,
Where dwelt of yore the Lusians' luckless queen;
And church and court did mingle their array,
And mass and revel were alternate seen;
Lordlings
and freres--ill-sorted fry, I ween!

Those little
Failings
in your Hero's heart
Show that of Man and Nature he has part:
To leave known Rules you cannot be allow'd;
Make Agamemnon covetous, and proud,
Aeneas in Religious Rites austere,
Keep to each man his proper Character.

Boileau - Art of Poetry |

If old
Margheritone
trembled, swooned
And died despairing at the open sill
Of other men's achievements (who achieved,
By loving art beyond the master), he
Was old Margheritone, and conceived
Never, at first youth and most ecstasy,
A Virgin like that dream of one, which heaved
The death-sigh from his heart.
