by Eliot, T S (Thomas Stearns)
...yghe may wel wit no wont that ther were.
An other noyse ful newe neyghed biliue,
That the lude myyght haf leue liflode to cach;

For vnethe watz the noyce not a whyle sesed,
And the fyrst cource in the court kyndely serued,
Ther hales in at the halle dor an aghlich mayster,
On the most on the molde on mesure hyghe;

And his lyndes and his lymes so longe and so grete,
Half etayn in erde I hope that he were,

...
vegno del loco ove tornar disio;

amor mi mosse, che mi fa parlare.

 Quando sar? dinanzi al segnor mio,

di te mi loder? sovente a lui".

Tacette allora, e poi comincia' io:

 "O donna di virt?, sola per cui

l'umana spezie eccede ogne contento

di quel ciel c'ha minor li cerchi sui,

 tanto m'aggrada il tuo comandamento,

che l'ubidir, se gi? fosse, m'? tardi;

pi? non t'? uo' ch'aprirmi il tuo talento.

 Ma dimmi la cagion che non ti guardi

...ro e vetusto;
e se 'l mondo sapesse il cor ch'elli ebbe
mendicando sua vita a frusto a frusto,

Paradiso: Canto VII


 «Osanna, sanctus Deus saba?th,
superillustrans claritate tua
felices ignes horum malac?th!».
 Cos?, volgendosi a la nota sua,
fu viso a me cantare essa sustanza,
sopra la qual doppio lume s'addua:
 ed essa e l'altre mossero a sua danza,
e quasi velocissime faville,
mi si velar di s?bita distanza.

Like a needle steadfastly,

But ever fixed, as yet, 
To the lode of her agony....Read more of this...

...where it hurts." the Kid 

He becomes Sierra Kid

 I passed Slimgullion, Morgan Mine, 
 Camp Seco, and the rotting Lode. 
 Dark walls of sugar pine --, 
 And where I left the road 

 I left myself behind; 
 Talked to no one, thought 
 Of nothing. When my luck ran out 
 Lived on berries, nuts, bleached grass. 
 Driven by the wind 
 Through great Sonora pass, 

 I found an Indian's teeth; 
 Turned and climbed again 
 Without direction, compass, path, 
 Without ...Read more of this...



by Chaucer, Geoffrey
...and no mo!
To whom for ever-mo myn herte I dowe; 
See how I deye, ye nil me not rescowe!

'Who seeth yow now, my righte lode-sterre?
Who sit right now or stant in your presence?
Who can conforten now your hertes werre?
Now I am gon, whom yeve ye audience? 
Who speketh for me right now in myn absence?
Allas, no wight; and that is al my care;
For wel wot I, as yvel as I ye fare.

'How sholde I thus ten dayes ful endure,
Whan I the firste night have al this tene? 
How shal s...Read more of this...
