Reflections

© George Crabbe

Beware then, Age, that what was won,
If life's past labours, studies, views,
Be lost not, now the labour's done,
When all thy part is,--not to lose:
When thou canst toil or gain no more,
Destroy not what was gain'd before.

After Waterloo

© Robert Fuller Murray

On the field of Waterloo we made Napoleon rue
That ever out of Elba he decided for to come,
For we finished him that day, and he had to run away,
And yield himself to Maitland on the Billy-ruffium.

Pharsalia - Book VIII: Death Of Pompeius

© Marcus Annaeus Lucanus

  Hard the task imposed;
Yet doffed his robe, and swift obeyed, the king
Wrapped in a servant's mantle.  If a Prince
For safety play the boor, then happier, sure,
The peasant's lot than lordship of the world.

The Lady Of La Garaye - Part II

© Caroline Norton

A FIRST walk after sickness: the sweet breeze
That murmurs welcome in the bending trees,
When the cold shadowy foe of life departs,
And the warm blood flows freely through our hearts:

My Friend

© Khalil Gibran

My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear--a
care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee
from my negligence.

A muscular knight,
Ever ready to fight,
A very determined invader,
And DICKEY DE LION'S delight.

The Grave By The Lake

© John Greenleaf Whittier

Where the Great Lake's sunny smiles
Dimple round its hundred isles,
And the mountain's granite ledge
Cleaves the water like a wedge,
Ringed about with smooth, gray stones,
Rest the giant's mighty bones.

The Ring And The Book - Chapter IV - Tertium Quid

© Robert Browning

Is so far clear? You know Violante now,
Compute her capability of crime
By this authentic instance? Black hard cold
Crime like a stone you kick up with your foot
I’ the middle of a field?
