第 318 頁 - For while the tired waves, vainly breaking, Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back, through creeks and inlets making, Comes silent, flooding in, the main. And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light; In front, the sun climbs slow, how slowly, But westward, look, the land is bright.
第 157 頁 - And ever against eating cares Lap me in soft Lydian airs Married to immortal verse, Such as the meeting soul may pierce In notes, with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out, With wanton heed and giddy cunning, The melting voice through mazes running, Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony; That Orpheus...
第 150 頁 - BOTH We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest, Young Dawn of our eternal day! We saw Thine eyes break from their east, And chase the trembling shades away. We saw Thee, and we blest the sight ; We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.
