Partant Pour La Scribie

© Andrew Lang

  The light comes mostly from below,
And seems a sort of symbol rare
  Of things at large, and how they go,
In rooms where doors are everywhere
  And cupboards shelter friend or foe.

Aurora Leigh: Book Niinth

© Elizabeth Barrett Browning


An active kind of curse. I stood there cursed,
Confounded. I had seized and caught the sense
Of the letter, with its twenty stinging snakes,
In a moment's sweep of eyesight, and I stood
Dazed.-"Ah! not married."

Once more, once more, Inarimé,

I hear the billows of the bay
  Wash the white pebbles on thy shore.

Guy Of The Temple

Night hangs above the valley; dies the day
In peace, casting his last glance on my cross,
And warns me to my prayers. _Ave Maria!

'Look At The Clock!' : Patty Morgan The Milkmaid's Story

And 'still on each evening when pleasure fills up,'
At the old Goat-in-Boots, with Metheglin, each cup,
Mr Pryce, if he's there,
Will get into 'the Chair,'

A Wedding March

Clash your cymbals, maids, to--day.
Chaunt the praise of Cynthia.

Young Time's choice, his brides--to--be.

The Feud: A Border Ballad

They sat by their wine in the tavern that night,
But not in good fellowship true:
The Rhenish was strong and the Burgundy bright,
And hotter the argument grew.

Loraine

© George Essex Evans

In her dark-ringed eyes shone the sad unrest
That spoke in the heave of her troubled breast,
And her face was white as the chiselled stone,
And her lips pressed madly against my own,
And her heart beat wildly against my heart,
And we strove to go, but we could not part.

Let Andrew rejoice with the Whale, who is array'd in beauteous blue and is a combination of bulk and activity.
