The Art Of War. Book I.

© Henry James Pye

I'll paint the cruel arm from Bayonne nam'd,
Where savage art a new destruction fram'd,
Their powers combin'd where fire and steel impart,
And point a double wound at every heart.

Mind Games

© Dimitris Varos

I am a waterfall in the desert.
A rain from a cloudless sky.
A well known but unborn child.
An insistence experience
that you never had.

Not To The Staring Day

© William Ernest Henley

Not to the staring Day,

For all the importunate questionings he pursues

A Child

© William Ernest Henley

A child,
Curious and innocent,
Slips from his Nurse, and rejoicing
Loses himself in the Fair.

In addition to those portions of Goethe's poetical works which
are given in this complete form, specimens of the different other
classes of them, such as the Epigrams, Elegies, &c., are added,
as well as a collection of the various Songs found in his Plays,
making a total number of about 400 Poems, embraced in the present
volume.

Starting From Paumanok

© Walt Whitman

Of earth, rocks, Fifth-month flowers, experienced-stars, rain, snow,
my amaze;
Having studied the mocking-bird's tones, and the mountainhawk's,
And heard at dusk the unrival'd one, the hermit thrush from the
swamp-cedars,
Solitary, singing in the West, I strike up for a New World.

Answers In A Game Of Questions.

© Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

THE LADY.IN the small and great world too,What most charms a woman's heart?
It is doubtless what is new,For its blossoms joy impart;
Nobler far is what is true,For fresh blossoms it can shootEven in the time of fruit.THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN.With the Nymphs in wood and caveParis was acquainted well,
Till Zeus sent, to make him rave,Three of those in Heav'n who dwell;

Poem Written At Morning

© Wallace Stevens

A sunny day's complete Poussiniana
Divide it from itself. It is this or that
And it is not.
By metaphor you paint

To An Afflicted Protestant Lady In France

© William Cowper

Madam,-- A stranger's purpose in these

Is to congratulate and not to praise;

Hermann And Dorothea - V. Polyhymnia

© Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

THE COSMOPOLITE.

BUT the Three, as before, were still sitting and talking together,

Peter Anderson And Co.

© Henry Lawson

They tried everything and nothing 'twixt the shovel and the press,
And were more or less successful in their ventures -- mostly less.
Once they ran a country paper till the plant was seized for debt,
And the local sinners chuckle over dingy copies yet.

The Candidate

How Jack Found That Beans May Go Back On A Chap

© Guy Wetmore Carryl

Without the slightest basis

For hypochondriasis

Look To This Day

© Kalidasa

Look to this day:

For it is life, the very life of life.

What do animals dream?

Are there agitations, upheavals or mutinies
against their perceived selves or fate?

Are they free of strengths and weaknesses peculiar
to horse, deer, bird, goat, snake, lamb or lion?

Sonnet L: As in Some Countries

As in some countries far remote from hence
The wretched creature destined to die,
Having the judgement due to his offence,
By surgeons begg'd, their art on him to try,

Offering

I offer you my forests and my street-cries
With hands of double-patience under the clock,
The antiseptic arguments and lies
Uttered before the flood, the submerged rock.
The sack of meal pierced by the handsome fencer,
The flowers dying for a great adventure.
