May go change by some Hardin.

This crowded life of God's good giving
No man has relished more than I;
I've been so goldarned busy living
I've never had the time to die.

Starts to seek what his heart desires,
His confused of entities he ought to know,
Whether the world might bring him sorrow.

Obscured to see & perceive sometime.

I sought extinction without pain,

Teach me, my God and King,
In all things Thee to see,
And what I do in anything
To do it as for Thee.

George Herbert
Show Me!
I would rather see a Mason, than hear one any day,
I would rather one would walk with me than merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.

A lamp burns on beside the open book
That Michael Robartes left, you walk in the moon,

New fetters on our hoped-for liberty:

Absalom And Achitophel
In pious times, ere priest-craft did begin,
Before polygamy was made a sin;
When man, on many, multipli'd his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

The old world jogs along,
Our little coloured flags we flaunt:
Our little separate selves we vaunt:

Walking rough path thus preventing from enlightenment,
Never letting to go beyond the circle of life.

How We Drove The Trotter
Oh, he was a handsome trotter, and he couldn't be completer,
He had such a splendid action and he trotted to this metre,
Such a pace and such a courage, such a record-killing power,
That he did his mile in two-fifteen, his twenty in the hour.

Out of the wood and saw the sickle moon
Floating in daylight o'er the pale green sea.

Fencing there body, speech and mind,
Encircle from defilements,
Reminding to be always virtuous.

it lies “in grandeur and in mass”
beneath a sea of shifting snow-dunes;
dots of cyclamen-red and maroon on its clearly defined

Marianne Moore
The Power Of Woman
Mighty art thou, because of the peaceful charms of thy presence;
That which the silent does not, never the boastful can do.
Vigor in man I expect, the law in its honors maintaining,
But, through the graces alone, woman e'er rules or should rule.

Loving and caring to benefit society,
Is most beautiful of being human.

I checked my watch and, a deep breathe,

Just at the self-same beat of Time's wide wings
Hyperion slid into the rustled air,
And Saturn gain'd with Thea that sad place
Where Cybele and the bruised Titans mourn'd.

Proudly the youth, sudden with manhood crowned,
Went walking by his horses, the first time,
That morning, to the plough. No soldier gay
Feels at his side the throb of the gold hilt

Sleep ever feigning one evolving theme -
Of my two lives which should I call the dream?
Which action vanity? Which vision sight?

The murmurs ebb; onto the stage I enter.

To discover in the distant echoes
What the coming years may hold in store.

The Void

through my hair, and make it stand upright.

The truth shall be thy warrant:

The Iliad Of Homer: Translated Into English Blank Verse: Book I.
Argument Of The First Book.
The book opens with an account of a pestilence that prevailed in the Grecian camp, and the cause of it is assigned. A council is called, in which fierce altercation takes place between Agamemnon and Achilles. The latter solemnly renounces the field.

The book concludes with an account of what passed in Heaven on that occasion.

Methinks like Eve in Paradice I rang'd;
And ev'ry grace of song I seem'd to see,
As the gay pride of ev'ry season, she.

At the shilling you gave to the poor working man,
That lifted you over the stile?

The Odyssey: Book 2
Now when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,
Telemachus rose and dressed himself. He bound his sandals on to his

looking like an immortal god. He at once sent the criers round to call

Prologue
Dans ces temps fabuleux, les limbes de l'histoire,

Vers la Ganga régnaient leur règne étincelant,
Et, par l'intensité de leur vertu, troublant
