Si vous alliez, Madame, au vrai pays de gloire,
Sur les bords de la Seine ou de la verte Loire,
Belle digne d'orner les antiques manoirs,
Vous feriez, a l'abri des
ombreuses
retraites,
Germer mille sonnets dans le coeur des poetes,
Que vos grands yeux rendraient plus soumis que vos noirs.

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |
|
Yet even letters are, as it were, the bank of
words, and restore themselves to an author as the pawns of language: but
talking and
eloquence
are not the same: to speak, and to speak well, are
two things.

Seest thou not how all these

Pause, and the pleasure is distrest in them?

CHORUS
Home to my heart the vaunting goes,
And, quick with terror, on my head
Rises my hair, at sound of those
Who wildly,
impiously
rave!

Aeschylus |

For in such wise primordials of things,
Many in many modes, astir by blows
From
immemorial
aeons, in motion too
By their own weights, have evermore been wont
To be so borne along and in all modes
To meet together and to try all sorts
Which, by combining one with other, they
Are powerful to create, that thus it is
No marvel now, if they have also fallen
Into arrangements such, and if they've passed
Into vibrations such, as those whereby
This sum of things is carried on to-day
By fixed renewal.
