How much the present moment means
To those who've nothing more -
The Fop - the Carp - the Atheist -
Stake an entire store
Upon a Moment's shallow Rim
While their commuted Feet
The Torrents of Eternity...
How soft a Caterpillar steps -
I find one on my Hand
From such a Velvet world it came -
Such plushes at command
It's soundless travels just arrest
My slow - terrestrial eye -
Intent upon it's own care...
How the old Mountains drip with Sunset
How the Hemlocks burn -
How the Dun Brake is draped in Cinder
By the Wizard Sun -
How the old Steeples hand the Scarlet
Till the Ball is full -
Have I the lip of...
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.
Quanto ? meravigliosa la vita finch? ci sei tu al mondo.
I am alive - I guess -
The Branches on my Hand
Are full of Morning Glory -
And at my finger's end -
The Carmine - tingles warm -
And if I hold a Glass
Across my Mouth - it blurs it -
Physician's - pro...
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 -
"But - Madam - is there nothing e...
I bring an unaccustomed wine
To lips long parching
Next to mine,
And summon them to drink;
Crackling with fever, they essay,
I turn my brimming eyes away,
And come next hour to look.
The hands still ...
I buoni muoiono giovani perché capiscono che non ha senso vivere se devi essere buono.
I Came to buy a smile - today -
But just a single smile -
The smallest one upon your face
Will suit me just as well -
The one that no one else would miss
It shone so very small -
I'm pleading at the &...
I can wade Grief -
Whole Pools of it -
I'm used to that -
But the least push of Joy
Breaks up my feet -
And I tip - drunken -
Let no Pebble - smile -
'Twas the New Liquor -
That was all!
Power is only...
I cittadini del mondo rispettano una nazione in grado di vedere al di là dei suoi propri confini.
I costumi e le convinzioni cambiano; la gente rispettabile è l'ultima a saperlo, o ad ammettere il cambiamento; alcuni si potrebbero offendere specchiandosi nello specchio dell'arte.

I could not prove the Years had feet -
Yet confident they run
Am I, from symptoms that are past
And Series that are done -
I find my feet have further Goals -
I smile upon the Aims
That felt so ample ...
I cried at Pity - not at Pain -
I heard a Woman say
"Poor Child" - and something in her voice
Convinced me - of me -
So long I fainted, to myself
It seemed the common way,
And Health, and La...
I cross till I am weary
A Mountain - in my mind -
More Mountains - then a Sea -
More Seas - And then
A Desert - find -
And My Horizon blocks
With sudden - blinding - Grains
Of unconjectured quantity -...
I dolori attuali sono gli errori del passato.
I envy Seas, whereon He rides -
I envy Spokes of Wheels
Of Chariots, that Him convey -
I envy Crooked Hills
That gaze upon His journey -
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As Eden - unto m...
I falliti si dividono in due categorie: coloro che hanno agito senza pensare e coloro che hanno pensato senza agire.
I fear a Man of frugal Speech -
I fear a Silent Man -
Haranguer - I can overtake -
Or Babbler - entertain -
But He who weigheth - While the Rest -
Expend their furthest pound -
Of this Man - I am wary...
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating ...
I gained it so -
By Climbing slow -
By Catching at the Twigs that grow
Between the Bliss - and me -
It hung so high
As well the Sky
Attempt by Strategy -
I said I gained it -
This - was all -
Look, ho...
I gave myself to Him -
And took Himself, for Pay,
The Solemn Contract of a Life
Was ratified, this way -
The Wealth might disappoint -
Myself a poorer prove
Than this great Purchaser suspect,
The Dail...
I groped for him before I knew
With solemn nameless need
All other bounty sudden chaff
For this foreshadowed Food
Which others taste and spurn and sneer -
Though I within suppose
That consecrated it c...
I had been hungry, all the Years -
My Noon had Come - to dine -
I trembling drew the Table near -
And touched the Curious Wine -
'Twas this on Tables I had seen -
When turning, hungry, Home
I looked i...
