The House of Sleep
© Robert Fuller Murray
When we have laid aside our last endeavour,
And said farewell to one or two that weep,
And issued from the house of life for ever,
To find a lodging in the house of sleep -

On The Water
© Rene Francois Armand Prudhomme
The sound of bank and water is all I hear,
The sad resignation of a weeping spring
Or a rock that hourly sheds a tear,
And the birch leaves' vague quivering.

Panic
© Aldous Huxley
The eyes of the portraits on the wall
Look at me, follow me,
Stare incessantly:
I take it their glance means nothing at all?
--Clearly, oh clearly! Nothing at all ...

The Epic
© Madison Julius Cawein
"To arms!" the battle bugles blew.
The daughter of their Earl was she,
Lord of a thousand swords and true;
He but a squire of low degree.

The Ram
© Franz Werfel
You've inherited the great ram's features,
The black-wooled one that bred with Jacob's herds.
You found yourself enough in the desert,
On the thistleweed that bent in the wind.

Here is my philosophy:
Everything changes (the word "everything"
has just changed as the
word "change" has: it now
Last Will And Testament
© Nazim Hikmet
Comrades, if I don't live to see the day
-- I mean,if I die before freedom comes --
take me away
and bury me in a village cemetery in Anatolia.
White Cloud Spring
© Bai Juyi
At White Cloud Spring on Tianping Mountain
the clouds are mindless and the water relaxed.
Why bother to rush down the mountain slope
and add waves to the human world?
Anterotics
© William Ernest Henley
Laughs the happy April morn
Thro' my grimy, little window,
And a shaft of sunshine pushes
Thro' the shadows in the square.
Regarding Art
© Nazim Hikmet
Sometimes, I, too, tell the ah's
of my heart one by one
like the blood-red beads
of a ruby rosary strung
on strands of golden hair!
Angina Pectoris
© Nazim Hikmet
If half my heart is here, doctor,
the other half is in China
with the army flowing
toward the Yellow River.
My Love (Do Not Ask Me)
© Nizar Qabbani
Do not ask me, the name of my love
I fear for you, from the fragrance of perfume
contained in a bottle, if you smashed it,
drowning you, in spilled scent
Sonnett VIII
© Paul Hamilton Hayne
IN the deep hollow of this sheltered dell
I hear the rude winds chant their giant staves
Far, far beyond me, where in darkening waves
The airy seas of cloudland sink or swell.
The Tint I cannot takeis best
© Emily Dickinson
The Tint I cannot takeis best
The Color too remote
That I could show it in Bazaar
A Guinea at a sight
