CAN you go to another who wins in the fight

And give him a hand-shake that "s true?

A soft veil dims the tender skies,
And half conceals from pensive eyes
The bronzing tokens of the fall;
A calmness broods upon the hills,
And summer's parting dream distills
A charm of silence over all.

© Emma Lazarus

Therefore I dare reveal my private woe,

The secret blots of my imperfect heart,

Orlando Furioso Canto 14

© Ludovico Ariosto

ARGUMENT

Two squadrons lack of those which muster under

La Fraisne

© Ezra Pound

For I was a gaunt, grave councillor
Being in all things wise, and very old,
But I have put aside this folly and the cold
That old age weareth for a cloak.

The Runaways/ Les Effares

© Arthur Rimbaud

Dark against the snow and fog,
At the big lit-up vent,
Their butts in a huddle,
Five urchins, kneeling - wretched! -
Watch the baker making
Loaves of heavy blond bread.

The Ant

© Richard Lovelace

Forbear, thou great good husband, little ant;
A little respite from thy flood of sweat!
Thou, thine own horse and cart under this plant,
Thy spacious tent, fan thy prodigious heat;
Down with thy double load of that one grain!
It is a granarie for all thy train.

Autumn Sorrow

© Madison Julius Cawein

Ah me! too soon the autumn comes
Among these purple-plaintive hills!
Too soon among the forest gums
Premonitory flame she spills,
Bleak, melancholy flame that kills.

Safe Conduct

© Edgar Albert Guest

There isn't any danger in the kindly things you say,
There isn't any sorrow in the fine and manly deed,
No deep regret awaits you at the ending of the day,
There's always joy in knowing that you've played the friend in need.

Two Pewits

Under the after-sunset sky

Two pewits sport and cry,

Sonnet VII

© George Gascoigne

No haste but good, where wisdom makes the way,

For proof whereof behold the simple snail

And Do They So?

© Henry Vaughan

"Etenim res creatoe exerto capite observantes
expectant revelationem Filiorum Dei.":
"For created things, watching with head erect,
await the revelation of the Sons of God."

The First Part: Sonnet 7 - That learned Grecian, who did so excel

That learned Grecian, who did so excel

In knowledge passing sense, that he is nam'd

The Cause Won

Two neighbours furiously dispute;

A field--the subject of the suit.

Translation Of Prior's Chloe And Euphelia

Mercator, vigiles oculos ut fallere possit,
Nomine sub ficto trans mare mittit opes;
Lenè sonat liquidumque meis Euphelia chordis,
Sed solam exoptant te, mea vota, Chloë.

No Boy Knows

There are many things that boys may know--

Why this and that are thus and so,--

National Monuments

These monuments of manhood strong and high
Do more than forts or battle-ships to keep
Our dear-bought liberty. They fortify
The heart of youth with valour wise and deep;
They build eternal bulwarks, and command
Eternal strength to guard our native land.
