Of Olga he in song averred;
His elegies, which
plenteous

Both natural and truthful seemed.

Pushkin - Eugene Oneigin |

The brain within its groove
Runs evenly and true;
But let a
splinter
swerve,
'T were easier for you
To put the water back
When floods have slit the hills,
And scooped a turnpike for themselves,
And blotted out the mills!

Man and Superman- A Comedy and a Philosophy by Bernard Shaw |
|
Some with averted faces shrieking fled home amain;
Some ran to call a leech; and some ran to lift the slain;
Some felt her lips and little wrist, if life might there be
found;
And some tore up their
garments
fast, and strove to stanch the
wound.

Dostoevsky - Notes from Underground |
|
Along the reaches of the street
Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a
fatalistic
drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
