...ed with sound
through some empty shell
some hollow wood
some emptiness

the snake 
was not so much charmed
as listening intently
to the accidental flute
to that which he knew
must be female
its empty insides
calling him
with breath music

and he joined in 
for awhile
finding a rang of sounds
he’d never heard
then peace

and a new religion
practiced in places
where snakes are holy
and music
is written in his tongue...Read more of this...

...tro a rimirar lo passo
che non lasci? gi? mai persona viva .

so did my spirit, still a fugitive,
turn back to look intently at the pass
that never has let any man survive.


Poi ch'?i posato un poco il corpo lasso,
ripresi via per la piaggia diserta,
s? che 'l pi? fermo sempre era 'l pi? basso .

I let my tired body rest awhile.
Moving again, I tried the lonely slope-
my firm foot always was the one below.


Ed ecco, quasi al cominciar de l'erta,
una lonz...Read more of this...

...tost heart knew to tear.She speaks not, but, with pity's dewy trace,Intently looks on me, and gently sighs,While pure and lustrous tears begem her face;My spirit, which her sorrow fiercely tries,So to behold her weep with anger burns,And freed from slumber to itself returns.

...awhile among it;) 
Think nothing can ever be greater—nothing can ever deserve more than it
 deserves; 
Regarding it all intently a long while—then dismissing it,
I stand in my place, with my own day, here. 

Here lands female and male; 
Here the heir-ship and heiress-ship of the world—here the flame of
 materials; 
Here Spirituality, the translatress, the openly-avow’d, 
The ever-tending, the finale of visible forms;
The satisfier, after due long-waiting, now advancing,

...scorn be curled -- 
`Self and Pelf', my friend, shall ever be the motto of the world.' 

Then he ceased and looked intently in my face, and nearer drew; 
But a sudden deep repugnance to his presence thrilled me through; 
Then I saw his face was cruel, by the look that o'er it stole, 
Then I felt his breath was poison, by the shuddering of my soul, 
Then I guessed his purpose evil, by his lip in sneering curled, 
And I knew he slandered mankind, by my knowledge of the wor...Read more of this...

...rth; 
But as you gazed upon its features, they 
Changed every instant — to what, none could say. 

LXXVI 

The more intently the ghosts gazed, the less 
Could they distinguish whose the features were; 
The Devil himself seem'd puzzled even to guess; 
They varied like a dream — now here, now there; 
And several people swore from out the press 
They knew him perfectly; and one could swear 
He was his father: upon which another 
Was sure he was his mother's cousin's brother:...Read more of this...

...ked maid.

She eyes the monk and brushes gently
Her hair, and water off her arms.
He shakes with fear and looks intently
At her, and at her lovely charms.
With eager hand she waves and beckons,
Nods quickly, smiles as from afar
And shoots, within two flashing seconds,
Into still water like a star.

The glum old man slept not an instant;
All day, not even once he prayed:
Before his eyes still hung and glistened
The wondrous, the relentless shade...

...lden days and nights
Is still your heritage from Deity,
And, still, the languid maidens’ eyes
Are turned to you as well intently.
So, play and sing, friends of my years!
Lose very quickly passing evening,
And, at your heedless joy and singing,
I will be smiling through my tears....Read more of this...

...follow a car's noise down the hill
it fades - a silence stands with arms outspread
catching all breath - i listen more intently
from my cell-like room where cubby holes

of dark have not yet given into morning
a sharper breeze now roughs it through the trees
and every leaf would run away but can't
so stays and rattles off complaints metallically
the sparrows beat their beaks more urgently 

and i am thrust at by a stab of sun
the rooftop opposite has a golden cowl
rays slide...Read more of this...
