A Poem Upon The Death Of O.C

...o others delt,
Danger it self refusing to offend
So loose an enemy so fast a freind.
Friendship that sacred versue long das claime
The first foundation of his house and name.
But within one its narrow limitts fall
His tendernesse extended unto all:
And that deep soule through every chanell flows
Where kindly nature loves it self to lose.
More strong affections never reason serv'd
Yet still affected most what best deservd.

Alfred Lord Tennyson - The Coming Of Arthur

...f one mind with him; 
For I was near him when the savage yells 
Of Uther's peerage died, and Arthur sat 
Crowned on the das, and his warriors cried, 
"Be thou the king, and we will work thy will 
Who love thee." Then the King in low deep tones, 
And simple words of great authority, 
Bound them by so strait vows to his own self, 
That when they rose, knighted from kneeling, some 
Were pale as at the passing of a ghost, 
Some flushed, and others dazed, as one who wakes 
Half-bl...Read more of this...

Kinderhymne (Childrens Hymn)

...der See bis zu den Alpen
Von der Oder bis zum Rhein.

Und weil wir dies Land verbessern
Lieben und beschirmen wir's
Und das liebste mag's uns scheinen
So wie andern V?lkern ihrs. 

[translation]

Spare no grace or pains of yours
Spare no passion or insight
So that a good Germany flowers
Like many another good country.

So that the peoples do not turn pale
Before us as before a bird of prey—
But that they reach out their hands
To us as to other peoples.

And so that we desire ...Read more of this...

Let my body mingle with the dust

...Let my body mingle with the dust of this Land,
And let my countrymen walk along my back;
Let all the holes in the road of freedom be filled with my blood & bone,
And let my life be sacrificed when my people awake into freedom....Read more of this...

Part 5 of Trout Fishing in America

...orps.

 It was a twelve-foot high marble statue of a young man

walking out on a cold morning to a crapper that had the das-

sic half-moon cut above the door.

 The 1930s will never come again, but his shoes were

wet with dew. They'll stay that way in marble.

 I went off into the marsh. There the creek was soft and

spread out in the grass like a beer belly. The fishing was

difficult. Summer ducks were jumping up into flight. They

were big mallards with their Rainier Ale...Read more of this...

The Burial Of The Dead

...I knew nothing,                                    40
  Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
  Od' und leer das Meer.

  Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
  Had a bad cold, nevertheless
  Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,
  With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,
  Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,
  (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)
  Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,
  The lady of situations.            ...Read more of this...

The Holy Grail

...d each made joy of either; then he asked, 
"Where is he? hast thou seen him--Lancelot?--Once," 
Said good Sir Bors, "he dashed across me--mad, 
And maddening what he rode: and when I cried, 
`Ridest thou then so hotly on a quest 
So holy,' Lancelot shouted, `Stay me not! 
I have been the sluggard, and I ride apace, 
For now there is a lion in the way.' 
So vanished." 

`Then Sir Bors had ridden on 
Softly, and sorrowing for our Lancelot, 
Because his former madness, once the ...Read more of this...

The Passing Of Arthur

...colourless, and like the withered moon 
Smote by the fresh beam of the springing east; 
And all his greaves and cuisses dashed with drops 
Of onset; and the light and lustrous curls-- 
That made his forehead like a rising sun 
High from the das-throne--were parched with dust; 
Or, clotted into points and hanging loose, 
Mixed with the knightly growth that fringed his lips. 
So like a shattered column lay the King; 
Not like that Arthur who, with lance in rest, 
From spur to p...Read more of this...

Who dares to take this life from me Knows no better

"Nur wenn das Herz erschlossen,

An important thing in living
Is to know when to go;
He who does not know this
Has not far to go,
Though death may come and go
When you do not know.


Come, give me your hand,
Together shoulder and cheek to shoulder
We'll go, sour kana in cheeks
And in the mornings cherry sticks
