Noises

© Fenny Sterenborg

I woke up this morning
with the city's noises
fusing into my dream

A Fragment of a Turkish TaleThe tale which these disjointed fragments present, is founded upon circumstances now less common in the East than formerly; either because the ladies are more circumspect than in the 'olden time', or because the Christians have better fortune, or less enterprise. The story, when entire, contained the adventures of a female slave, who was thrown, in the Mussulman manner, into the sea for infidelity, and avenged by a young Venetian, her lover, at the time the Seven Islands were possessed by the Republic of Venice, and soon after the Arnauts were beaten back from the Morea, which they had ravaged for some time subsequent to the Russian invasion. The desertion of the Mainotes on being refused the plunder of Misitra, led to the abandonment of that enterprise, and to the desolation of the Morea,during which the cruelty exercised on all sides was unparalleled even in the annals of the faithful.
No breath of air to break the wave
That rolls below the Athenian's grave,
That tomb which, gleaming o'er the cliff

Of the four Humours in Mans Constitution.

His glove on earth, and forth his sabre flew.

And thus I answer for mine absent guest."

Lines, On Hearing That Lady Byron Was Ill

© Lord Byron

And thou wert sadyet I was not with thee!
And thou wert sick, and yet I was not near;
Methought that joy and health alone could be
Where I was notand pain and sorrow here.

Lion In An Iron Cage

The shadow of my brother on the wall of the dungeon
moves
up and down
up and down.

On Living

© Nazim Hikmet

ILiving is no laughing matter:
you must live with great seriousness
like a squirrel, for example--
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,

The Visitor

it came today to visit
and moved into the house
it was smaller than an elephant
but larger than a mouse

Nebraska

April doesnt hurt here

Like it does in New England

The Evening Star

© Walter Savage Landor

Smiles soon abate; the boisterous throes
Of anger long burst forth;
Inconstantly the south-wind blows,
But steadily the north.

To Anne

© George Gordon Byron

Oh, Anne, your offences to me have been grievous:
I thought from my wrath no atonement could save you:
But woman is made to command and deceive us
I look 'd in your face, and I almost forgave you.

Madge Linsey, Or The Three Souls

© Dora Sigerson Shorter

Then by Madge Linsey's side knelt he a little while,
"So of our wilful sins pay we the toll.
Even as she were I, had I but followed her.
But the Lord succoured me saving my soul."

Pastor Cum

When he, that shepherd false, 'neath Phrygian sails,

Carried his hostess Helen o'er the seas,

The Rain

This is the rhyme of the rain on the roof,

Tears, all tears, slow falling tears

The White House

© Claude McKay

Your door is shut against my tightened face,
And I am sharp as steel with discontent;
But I possess the courage and the grace
To bear my anger proudly and unbent.
