Consulting summer's clock,
But half the hours remain.
I ascertain it with a shock -
I shall not look again.
The second half of joy
Is shorter than the first.
The truth I do not dare to know
I muffle w...
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers -
Untouched by Morning
And untouched by Noon -
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection -
Rafter of satin,
And Roof of stone.
Light laughs the breeze
In her Castle ...
These tested Our Horizon -
Then disappeared
As Birds before achieving
A Latitude.
Our Retrospection of Them
A fixed Delight,
But Our Anticipation
A Dice - a Doubt.
A Night - there lay the Days between -
The Day that was Before -
And Day that was Behind - were One -
And now - 'twas Night - was here -
Slow - Night - that must be watched away -
As Grains upon a sho...
A Toad, can die of Light -
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men -
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege -
Why swagger, then?
The Gnat's supremacy is large as Thine -
Life - is Another Thing -
So measu...
Forever at His side to walk -
The smaller of the two!
Brain of His Brain -
Blood of His Blood -
Two lives - One Being - now -
Forever of His fate to taste -
If grief - the largest part -
If joy - to p...
Com'? - il "Paradiso"?
Chi ci vive?
Sono "Contadini"?
"Zappano"?
Sanno che questa ? "Amherst" -
E che - anch'io - sto arrivando?
Calzano "scarpe nuove"...
I had no Cause to be awake -
My Best - was gone to sleep -
And Morn a new politeness took -
And failed to wake them up -
But called the others - clear -
And passed their Curtains by -
Sweet Morning - ...
La morte come un viaggio senza ritorno, da affrontare con gioiosa e tranquilla disciplina, senza addii chiassosi, senza dimenticare la bellezza di ci? che abbiamo vissuto, con la curiosit? delle "...
The Voice that stands for Floods to me
Is sterile borne to some -
The Face that makes the Morning mean
Glows impotent on them -
What difference in Substance lies
That what is Sum to me
By other Financ...
I asked no other thing -
No other - was denied -
I offered Being - for it -
The Mighty Merchant sneered -
Brazil? He twirled a Button -
Without a glance my way -

Nuovi piedi percorrono il giardino,
nuove dita smuovono la zolla -
un trovatore sopra l'olmo
tradisce la solitudine.
Nuovi bambini giocano sul prato
nuovi stanchi dormono di sotto -

To fill a Gap
Insert the Thing that caused it -
Block it up
With Other - and 'twill yawn the more -
You cannot solder an Abyss
With Air.
"Remember me" implored the Thief!
Oh Hospitality!
My Guest "Today in Paradise"
I give thee guaranty.
That Courtesy will fair remain
When the Delight is Dust
With which we cite this...
A Cloud withdrew from the Sky
Superior Glory be
But that Cloud and it's Auxiliaries
Are forever lost to me
Had I but further scanned
Had I secured the Glow
In an Hermetic Memory
It had availed me now ...
Nature affects to be sedate
Upon occasion, grand
But let our observation shut
Her practices extend
To Necromancy and the Trades
Obscure to understand
Behold our spacious Citizen
Unto a Juggler turned.
'Twas comfort in her Dying Room
To hear the living Clock
A short relief to have the wind
Walk boldly up and knock
Diversion from the Dying Theme
To hear the children play
But wrong the more
That these...
Buongiorno, mezzanotte.
Torno a casa.
Il giorno si ? stancato di me:
come potevo io - di lui?
Era bella la luce del sole.
Stavo bene sotto i suoi raggi.
Ma il mattino non mi ha voluta pi?,
e cos?, buo...
Exhilaration - is within -
There can no Outer Wine
So royally intoxicate
As that diviner Brand
The Soul achieves - Herself -
To drink - or set away
For Visiter - Or Sacrament -
'Tis not of Holiday

Prima di amare, io non ho mai vissuto pienamente.
Io non sono Nessuno!
Tu chi sei? Anche tu - sei - Nessuno?
Bene allora saremo in due!
Ma non dirlo a nessuno!
Ci caccerebbero - e tu lo sai!
In many and reportless places
We feel a Joy -
Reportless, also, but sincere as Nature
Or Deity -
It comes, without a consternation -
Dissolves - the same -
But leaves a sumptuous Destitution -
Without...
Light is sufficient to itself -
If others want to see
It can be had on Window panes
Some Hours of the Day -
But not for Compensation -
It holds as large a Glow
To Squirrel in the Himmaleh
Precisely - ...
As old as Woe -
How old is that?
Some Eighteen thousand years -
As old as Joy
How old is that
They are of equal years -
Together chiefest they are found
But seldom side by side -
From neither of them ...
Like Mighty Foot Lights - burned the Red
At Bases of the Trees -
The far Theatricals of Day
Exhibiting - to These -
'Twas Universe - that did applaud -
While Chiefest - of the Crowd -
Enabled by his R...
