Austin Phrasis Quintet 2 Recited
PHRASIS 111
Ephemeral excitements of the
passing hours surrender to the
transient not mere emotion but
reason in her most excited mood.
Thoughts,feelings and passions,
simple joys and simple sorrows,
conflicts of the world shut out.
Manner suffused with charm of style
a subtle,delicate specimen.
O precocity of genius,so exhilarity,
so human tearful,tender compassionate.
Spiritual exlipses,transitory, source
and centre of gentle light,
stimulate imagination’s muse in
passages of the profound.
From Alfred Austin- The Bridling of Pegasus
Listen to me recite this phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
