As Sleigh Bells seem in summer

 As Sleigh Bells seem in summer

On Mr. G. Herberts Book Entitled the Temple of Sacred Poe

 Know you fair, on what you look;
Divinest love lies in this book,
Expecting fire from your eyes,
To kindle this his sacrifice.
When your hands untie these strings,

Of your well-perfumed prayer.
These white plumes of his he'll lend you,
Which every day to...Read more of this...

 Then what's all the fuss? said someone to someone else.
 Who's fussing? I'm just saying that if he doesn't get...Read more of this...

The Lotos-eaters

 "Courage!" he said, and pointed toward the land, 
"This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon."
In the afternoon they came unto a land 
In which it seemed always afternoon.
All round the coast the languid air did swoon,
Breathing like one that hath a weary dream.
Full-faced above the valley stood the moon;
And like a downward smoke, the slender stream 
Along the...Read more of this...

into one's own tongue the writings of the bards of other lands, 
the responsibility assumed by the translator is immeasurably increased 
when...Read more of this...

If I am drunk with old wine, ah, well! I am. If I am

If I am drunk with old wine, ah, well! I am. If I am
an infidel, fire worshipper or idolater, ah, well! that I am.
