Listen to the boatman's languid sound
He sings of having seen seven women 'neath the moon
Twining their long green hair along the ground
Stand up and sing aloud and dance a round
So I'll no longer hear the boatman singing
And seat beside me all the pretty blondes
The ones with neat plaits and quiet-looking
The Rhine the Rhine is drunk where vineyards gleam
All the gold of night falls there
reflected
in the stream
The voice sings on forever a death-rattle
Of the green haired faeries chanting summer's dream
My glass like a burst of laughter shatters

Dante -
Purgatorio
XXVI:142-144
I see scarlet; green, blue, white, yellow
Garden, close, hill, valley and field,
And songs of birds echo and ring
In sweet accord, at evening and dawn:
They urge my heart to depict in song
Such a flower that its fruit will be amour,
And joy the seed, and the scent a foil to sadness.
