Stranica 123 - Nothing can less display knowledge, or less exercise invention, than to tell how a shepherd has lost his companion, and must now feed his flocks alone, without any judge of his skill in piping; and how one god asks another god what is become of Lycidas, and how neither god can tell. He who thus grieves will excite no sympathy; he who thus praises will confer no honour.
Stranica 311 - Now hath my life across a stormy sea Like a frail bark reached that wide port where all Are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall Of good and evil for eternity. Now know I well how that fond phantasy Which made my soul the worshipper and thrall Of earthly art, is vain; how criminal Is that which all men seek unwillingly. Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed, What are they when the double death is nigh? The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to...
Stranica 171 - What joy hath yon glad wreath of flowers that is Around her golden hair so deftly twined, Each blossom pressing forward from behind, As though to be the first her brows to kiss! The livelong day her dress hath perfect bliss, That now reveals her breast, now seems to bind: And that fair woven net of gold refined Rests on her cheek and throat in happiness! Yet still more blissful seems to me the band Gilt at the tips, so sweetly doth it ring And clasp the bosom that it serves to lace: Yea, and the...
Stranica 161 - FROM thy fair face I learn, O my loved lord, That which no mortal tongue can rightly say ; The soul imprisoned in her house of clay, Holpen by thee, to God hath often soared. And though the vulgar, vain, malignant horde Attribute what their grosser wills obey, Yet shall this fervent homage that I pay, This love, this faith, pure joys for us afford. , Lo, all the lovely things we find on earth, Resemble for the soul that rightly sees That source of bliss divine which gave us birth : Nor have we first-fruits...
Stranica 120 - When my rude hammer to the stubborn stone Gives human shape, now that, now this, at will, Following his hand who wields and guides it still, It moves upon another's feet alone: But that which dwells in heaven, the world doth fill With beauty by pure motions of...
Stranica 127 - With your fair eyes a charming light I see, For which my own blind eyes would peer in vain; Stayed by your feet the burden I sustain Which my lame feet find all too strong for me; Wingless upon your pinions forth I fly; Heavenward your spirit stirreth me to strain; El'en as you will, I blush and blanch again, Freeze in the sun, burn 'neath a frosty sky.
Stranica 312 - The fables of the world have filched away The time I had for thinking upon God ; His grace lies buried 'neath oblivion's sod, Whence springs an evil crop of sins alway. What makes another wise, leads me astray, Slow to discern the bad path I have trod : Hope fades ; but still desire ascends that God May free me from self-love, my sure decay. Shorten half-way my road to heaven from earth ? Dear Lord, I...
Stranica 171 - ... golden hair so deftly twined, Each" blossom pressing forward from behind, As though to be the first her brows to kiss ! The livelong day her dress hath perfect bliss, That now reveals her breast, now seems to bind : And that fair woven net of gold refined Rests on her cheek and throat in happiness ! Yet still more blissful seems to me the band Gilt at the tips, so sweetly doth it ring And clasp the bosom that it serves to lace : Yea, and the belt to such as understand, Bound round her waist,...
Stranica 120 - When she who was the source of all my sighs, Fled from the world, herself, my straining sight, Nature who gave us that unique delight, Was sunk in shame, and we had weeping eyes. Yet shall not vauntful Death enjoy this prize, This sun of suns which then he veiled in night; For Love hath triumphed, lifting up her light On earth and mid the saints in Paradise. What though remorseless and impiteous doom Deemed that the music of her deeds would die, And that her...
Stranica 365 - You will say that I am old and mad (che io sia vecchio e pazo) ; but I answer that there is no better way of keeping sane and free from anxiety than being mad.
