  • Poems of Charles Baudelaire/A Former Life

    Long since, I lived beneath vast porticoes,

    By many ocean-sunsets tinged and fired,

    Where mighty pillars, in majestic rows,

    Seemed like basaltic caves when day expired.

     

    The rolling surge that mirrored all the skies

    Mingled its music, turbulent and rich,...

    Fortitude incarnate

    Here is laid away

    In the swift Partitions

    Of the awful Sea —


    Babble of the Happy

    Hoary the Fruition

    But the Sea is old


    Edifice of Ocean

    Thy tumultuous Rooms

  • A Fragment (Brontë)

    Maiden, thou wert thoughtless once

    Of beauty or of grace,

    Simple and homely in attire

    Careless of form and face.

    Then whence this change, and why so oft

    Dost smooth thy hazel hair?

    And wherefore deck thy youthful form

    With such unwearied care?

    'Tell us ­- and cease to tire our...

  • Frequently the woods are pink -

    Frequently the woods are pink —

    Frequently, are brown.

    Frequently the hills undress

    Behind my native town —

    Oft a head is crested

    I was wont to see —

    And as oft a cranny

    Where it used to be —

    And the Earth — they tell me

    On it's axis turned!

    Wonderful...

    Frigid and fleet my Feet —

    Acrid whatever Fate.

    Riches and Name and Realm —

    Who was She to withhold from me

    Penury and Home?
