It keeps me busy in my bookish cage
Gliding and sliding on the open page
It rest so quiet but not dumb

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were-I have not seen
As others saw-I could not bring
My passions from a common spring-

Edgar Allan Poe
The Mountain
The mountain held the town as in a shadow
I saw so much before I slept there once:
I noticed that I missed stars in the west,
Where its black body cut into the sky.

Moist and humid clouds,
Move over the vale and,
Higher it climbs,
Condense to form water,

Norbu Dorji
The Tower
It was deep night, and over Jerusalem's low roofs
The moon floated, drifting through high vaporous woofs.
The moonlight crept and glistened silent, solemn, sweet,
Over dome and column, up empty, endless street;

The Odyssey: Book 09
And Ulysses answered, “King Alcinous, it is a good thing to hear a
bard with such a divine voice as this man has. There is nothing better

with the guests sitting orderly to listen, while the table is loaded

Homer
A Lair At Noon.
The hawthorn gently stopt the sun, beneath,
The ash above its quiv'ring shadows spread,
And downy bents, that to the air did wreathe,
Bow'd 'neath my pressure in an easy bed;

Mounting the moon-silvered steps of my gate?

Afar In The Desert
Afar in the Desert I love to ride,
With the silent Bush-boy alone by my side:
When the sorrows of life the soul o'ercast,
And, sick of the Present, I cling to the Past;

Deep treasured thro' life, in my heart they shall stay;
Like music, whose charm in the soul lingers yet,
When its sounds from the ear have long melted away.

The marble satyr plays a mournful strain
That leaves the rainy fragrance musical.

The lassie I lo'e best:

Their ochre clings to the stone.

They are rhymes rudely strung with intent less
Of sound than of words,
In lands where bright blossoms are scentless,
And songless bright birds;

The Fountain
Oh in the deep blue night
The fountain sang alone;
It sang to the drowsy heart
Of a satyr carved in stone.

The Odyssey: Book 17
When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,
Telemachus bound on his sandals and took a strong spear that suited

The Odyssey: Book 20
Ulysses slept in the cloister upon an undressed bullock's hide, on
the top of which he threw several skins of the sheep the suitors had

And many a moving candle, in whose light
The prisoned wizard, mirrored in amazement,

That morning, to the plough. No soldier gay
Feels at his side the throb of the gold hilt

A fountain at my fond heart's door,
Whose only business was to flow;
