Eccentricity

© Washington Allston

 Who next appears thus stalking by his side?
Why that is one who'd sooner die than-ride!
No inch of ground can maps unheard of show
Untrac'd by him, unknown to every toe:
As if intent this punning age to suit,
The globe's circumf'rence meas'ring by the foot.

Rip Van Winkle. Canto I.

© Oliver Wendell Holmes

OLD Rip Van Winkle had a grandson, Rip,
Of the paternal block a genuine chip,—­
A lazy, sleepy, curious kind of chap;
He, like his grandsire, took a mighty nap,
Whereof the story I propose to tell
In two brief cantos, if you listen well.

Out Of Time

Vilely, continuously, stupidly,
Time takes me, drills me, drives through bone and vein,
So water bends the seaweeds in the sea,
The tide goes over, but the weeds remain.

In Amsterdam

© Christian Frederik Louis Leipoldt

As ek vanaand so moedersiel
Alleen hier by die vuurherd sit,
Dan borrel my geheue op,
En maak my hart en siel uit lid;
