Who, with living flowers Of loveliest blue, spread garlands at your feet? — God ! let the torrents, like a shout of nations, Answer ! and let the ice-plains echo, God ! God!
Pagina 78 - Dis's waggon! daffodils That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty; violets dim, But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes Or Cytherea's breath...
Pagina 60 - DEAR common flower, that grow'st beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold, First pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride uphold, High-hearted buccaneers, o'erjoyed that they An Eldorado in the grass have found, Which not the rich earth's ample round May match in wealth, thou art more dear to me Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.

At length, to earth her stupid body cleaves : Her wan complexion turns to bloodless leaves, Yet streak 'd with red : her perish'd limbs beget A flower, resembling...
Pagina 84 - ... goes rather by the name of honesty ; though what we call an honest man the Romans called a good man ; and honesty in their language, as well as in French, rather signifies a composition of those qualities which generally acquire honour and esteem.
Pagina 108 - As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turned when he rose.
