SCENE –A STREET

Sanctuary

© Jean Valentine

Here ... well, wanting solitude; and talk; friendship—
The uses of solitude. To imagine; to hear.
Learning braille. To imagine other solitudes.
But they will not be mine;
to wait, in the quiet; not to scatter the voices—

Song of Myself

© Walt Whitman

Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.

Coquette And Her Lover

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

O, foolish querist! what if I,
Beholding your enamored face
And every well-attested trace
Of verdant, young idolatry,
Should, after my own fashion, choose
To play the subtly-amorous muse,

Pro Femina

© John Betjeman

But we need dependency, cosseting, and well-treatment. 
So do men sometimes. Why don’t they admit it? 
We will be cows for a while, because babies howl for us, 
Be kittens or bitches, who want to eat grass now and then 
For the sake of our health. But the role of pastoral heroine 
Is not permanent, Jack. We want to get back to the meeting.

Jhansi Ki Rani (With English Translation)

© Subhadra Kumari Chauhan

4
With valor in a grand festival, she got married in Jhansi,
After her marriage, Laxmibai came to Jhansi as a queen with shower of joy,
A grand celebration took place in the royal palace of Jhansi. That was a good luck for Bandelos that she came to Jhansi,
That was as Chitra met with Arjun or Shiv had got his beloved Bhavani (Durga).
From the mouths of the Bandelas and the Harbolas (Religious singers of Bandelkhand), we heard the tale of the courage of the Queen of Jhansi relating how gallantly she fought like a man against the British intruders: such was the Queen of Jhansi.

The Moon and the Comet

© Amelia Opie

This fact is clear….Both man and woman
Prize not what's good, but what's uncommon ;
And most delighted still they are,
Not with the excellent, but rare,….
I could of this give proofs most stable,
But, par exemple , take a fable.

HOME AT GRASMERE
ONCE to the verge of yon steep barrier came
A roving school-boy; what the adventurer's age
Hath now escaped his memory--but the hour,

A Patriotic Creed

© Edgar Albert Guest

To serve my country day by day
At any humble post I may;
To honor and respect her flag,
To live the traits of which I brag;
To be American in deed
As well as in my printed creed.

The Hunter

© Ellis Parker Butler

A full-fledged gun cannot endure
The trifling of an amateur;
Poor marksmanship its temper spoils
And this is why the gun recoils.

To Mr. Pope

© Thomas Parnell

To praise, and still with just respect to praise
A Bard triumphant in immortal bays,
The Learn'd to show, the Sensible commend,
Yet still preserve the province of the Friend,
What life, what vigour must the lines require?
What Music tune them, what affection fire?

Homage To Sextus Propertius - XII

© Ezra Pound

Upon the Actian marshes Virgil is Phoebus' chief of police,
  He can tabulate Caesar's great ships.
He thrills to Ilian arms,
  He shakes the Trojan weapons of Aeneas,
And casts stores on Lavinian beaches.
