Conscience And Remorse
© Paul Laurence Dunbar
"GOOD-BYE," I said to my conscience
"Good-bye for aye and aye,"
Cinderella
© Sylvia Plath
The prince leans to the girl in scarlet heels,
Her green eyes slant, hair flaring in a fan
Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels
Begin on tilted violins to span
Childhood
© William Barnes
Aye, at that time our days wer but vew,
An' our lim's wer but small, an' a-growèn;
Cromwell
© Albert Durrant Watson
This too remember well
I learned it late: None but a tyrant makes
That good prevail that is not in men's hearts,
And tyranny is questionable good.
Therefore must all men learn by liberty,
And with what pain their doings on them bring.
Celestial Painting (Sunset at Renvyle)
© William Percy French
When painters leave this world, we grieve
For the hand that will work no more,
Canadian Forever
© William Henry Drummond
So line up and try us,
Whoever would deny us
The freedom of our birthright
And they'll find us like a wall--
For we are Canadian--Canadian forever,
Canadian forever--Canadian over all.
Crushed by
© Stéphane Mallarme
Crushed by the overwhelming cloud
Depth of basalt and lavas
By even the enslaved echoes
Of a trumpet without power
Cape Byron.
© James Brunton Stephens
UPON the orient utmost of the land,
Enfranchised of the world, alone, and free,
Come Si Quando

How thickly the far fields of heaven are strewn with stars !
Tho* the open eye of day shendeth them with its glare
Companions - A Tale Of A Grandfather
© Charles Stuart Calverley
I KNOW not of what we ponderd
Or made pretty pretence to talk,
Compensation
© Harry Graham
Weep not for little Leonie,
Abducted by a French Marquis!
Though loss of honour was a wrench,
Just think how it's improved her French.
Christmas Morning
© Eugene Field
The angel host that sped last night,
Bearing the wondrous news afar,
Came in their ever-glorious flight
Unto a slumbering little star.
Caracol (A Shell)
© Rubén Dario
En la playa he encontrado un caracol de oro
macizo y recamado de las perlas más finas;
Europa le ha tocado con sus manos divinas
cuando cruzó las ondas sobre el celeste toro.
Childhoods Retreat
© Robert Duncan
Its in the perilous boughs of the tree
out of blue sky the wind
sings loudest surrounding me.
Caravaggio: Swirl & Vortex
© Larry Levis
In the Borghese, Caravaggio, painter of boy whores, street punk, exile & murderer,
Left behind his own face in the decapitated, swollen, leaden-eyed head of Goliath,
And left the eyelids slightly open, & left on the face of David a look of pity
Cowslips
© Walter Savage Landor
WITH rosy hand a little girl pressd down
A boss of fresh-culld cowslips in a rill:
Often as they sprang up again, a frown
Showd she dislikd resistance to her will:
Crotalus [Rattlesnake Bar, Sierras]
© Francis Bret Harte
No life in earth, or air, or sky;
The sunbeams, broken silently,
On the bared rocks around me lie,-
Charity
© William Cowper
Fairest and foremost of the train that wait
On man's most dignified and happiest state,
Caught in the Undertow
© Christopher Morley
COLIN, worshipping some frail,
By self-deception sways her:
Calls himself unworthy male,
Hardly even fit to praise her.
Chatterton's Will
© Thomas Chatterton
Vous qui par ici pasez
Pur l'ame Guateroine Chatterton priez
Le cors di oi ici gist
L'ame receyve Thu Crist. MCCX.
