Like wooden islands, hill to hill.
Huloo, my prowed dove with a flute!

...Ma poi ch'i' fui al pi? d'un colle giunto,

l? dove terminava quella valle

che m'avea di paura il cor compunto,

 guardai in alto, e vidi le sue spalle

vestite gi? de' raggi del pianeta

che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle.

 Allor fu la paura un poco queta

che nel lago del cor m'era durata

la notte ch'i' passai con tanta pieta.

 E come quei che con lena affannata

uscito fuor del pelago a la riva

si volge a l'acqua perigliosa e guata,

...There was Dai Puw. He was no good. 
They put him in the fields to dock swedes, 
And took the knife from him, when he came home 
At late evening with a grin 
Like the slash of a knife on his face. 

There was Llew Puw, and he was no good. 
Every evening after the ploughing 
With the big tractor he would sit in his chair, 
And stare into the tangled fire garden, 
Openin...Read more of this...

...minciò: «Chiunque
tu se', così andando, volgi 'l viso:
pon mente se di là mi vedesti unque».
 Io mi volsi ver lui e guardail fiso:
biondo era e bello e di gentile aspetto,
ma l'un de' cigli un colpo avea diviso.
 Quand'io mi fui umilmente disdetto
d'averlo visto mai, el disse: «Or vedi»;
e mostrommi una piaga a sommo 'l petto.
 Poi sorridendo disse: «Io son Manfredi,

...
Wantoning with our Lady Mother's vagrant tresses,
Banqueting with her in her wind walled palace,
Underneath her azured dai:s,
Quaffing, as your taintless way is,
From a chalice, lucent weeping out of the dayspring.

So it was done.
I in their delicate fellowship was one.
Drew the bolt of Nature's secrecies,
I knew all the swift importings on the wilful face of skies,
I knew how the clouds arise,
Spume d of the wild sea-snortings.
All that's born or dies,
Rose and drooped wit...Read more of this...
