A Lesson In Vengeance
© Sylvia Plath
In the dour ages
Of drafty cells and draftier castles,
Of dragons breathing without the frame of fables,
Saint and king unfisted obstruction's knuckles
By no miracle or majestic means,
A Wreath Of Immortelles
© Ambrose Bierce
Judge Sawyer, whom in vain the people tried
To push from power, here is laid aside.
Death only from the bench could ever start
The sluggish load of his immortal part.
A Romance
© Daniil Ivanovich Kharms
He looks at me with a madman's eyes
It's your house and porch I know so well.
He gives me a kiss with his crimson lips
Our ancestors had gone to war in scales of steel.
Aux arbres

Arbres de la forêt, vous connaissez mon âme!
Au gré des envieux, la foule loue et blâme ;
Vous me connaissez, vous! - vous m'avez vu souvent,
Seul dans vos profondeurs, regardant et rêvant.

There the East hums loud and surly,
Late and early,
Through the chasms and the caves,
And across the naked verges
Leap the surges!
White and wailing waifs of waves.

In a translucent forest in Persephone's tracks,
A blind swallow falls at her feet
With Stygian tenderness and a green branch.

Along the coast of those bright seas,
Where sternly fought of old
The Pisan and the Genoese,
Into the evening gold
A Poem On The Last Day - Book II
© Edward Young
Now man awakes, and from his silent bed,
Where he has slept for ages, lifts his head;
Shakes off the slumber of ten thousand years,
And on the borders of new worlds appears.
Whate'er the bold, the rash adventure cost,
In wide Eternity I dare be lost.

Their daffodil-gold-coloured hair,

The Prince of Peace oped a sweet eye.
