The Tree Of Knowledge

© Edith Nesbit

I PLUCKED the blossoms of delight
In many a wood and many a field,
I made a garland fair and bright
As any gardens yield.

Chrysanthus is seen seated near a writing table on which are several
books: he is reading a small volume with deep attention.

England

ENGLAND, England, England,
Girdled by ocean and skies,
And the power of a world, and the heart of a race,
And a hope that never dies.

Prometheus

Sparkling upon the hoarfrost on my chain:

Of The Nature Of Things: Book IV - Part 04 - Some Vital Functions

© Lucretius

In these affairs

We crave that thou wilt passionately flee

Sometimes thou shalt with fervent Vows implore
A moderate Wind; the Orchat loves to wave
With Winter-Winds, before the Gems exert
Their feeble Heads; the loosen'd Roots then drink
Large Increment, Earnest of happy Years.

And James is going in for his degree.

And the great star early droopd in the western sky in the night,
I mourndand yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

Awhile my idle strain attend:

Cadenus And Vanessa

THE shepherds and the nymphs were seen
Pleading before the Cyprian Queen.
The counsel for the fair began
Accusing the false creature, man.

The Ring And The Book - Chapter XI - Guido

© Robert Browning

YOU ARE the Cardinal Acciaiuoli, and you,

Abate Panciatichitwo good Tuscan names:

Courage

Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea
Loves to have his sails filled with a lusty wind
Even till his sailyards tremble, his masts crack,
And his rapt ship runs on her side so low

Don Juan: Canto The Fourteenth

If from great nature's or our own abyss

Of thought we could but snatch a certainty,

By The Camp Fire

Ah, 'twas but now I saw the sun flush pink on yonder placid tide;
The purple hill-tops, one by one, were strangely lit and glorified;
And yet how sweet the night has grown, with palest starlights dimly sown!
