On the lecture slate The circle rounded under female hands With flawless demonstration. - Princess (II, l. 349) [Circles] We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we." "They hunt old trails" said Cyril, "very well; But when did woman ever yet invent?" - Princess (II, l. 366) [Invention] Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying. - Princess (IV, Bugle Song) [Echo] Then came your new friend: you began to change: I saw it and grieved. - Princess (IV, l. 279) [Friends] Fear Stared in her eyes, and chalk'd her face. - Princess (IV, l. 357) [Fear] The splash and stir Of fountains spouted up and showering down In meshes of the jasmine and the rose: And all about us peal'd the nightingale, Rapt in her song, and careless of the snare. - Princess (pt. I, l. 214) [Gardens] Jewels five-words-long, That on the stretch'd forefinger of all Time Sparkle for ever. - Princess (pt. II, l. 355) [Poetry] Current among men, Like coin, the tinsel clink of compliment. - Princess (pt. II, l. 40) [Compliments] Better not to be at all Than not to be noble. - Princess (pt. II, l. 79) [Nobility] Morn in the white wake of the morning star Came furrowing all the orient into gold. - Princess (pt. III, l. 1) [Morning] Seeing, I saw not, hearing not, I heard. Tho', if I saw not, yet they told me all So often that I spake as having seen. - Princess (VI, l. 3) [Dreams] Steps with a tender foot, light as on air, The lovely, lordly creature floated on. - Princess (VI, l. 72) [Footsteps] Beat upon mine, little heart! beat, beat! Beat upon mine! you are mine, my sweet! All mine from your pretty blue eyes to your feet, My sweet! - Romney's Remorse [Babyhood] The sin That neither God nor man can well forgive. - Sea Dreams [Forgiveness] A trifle makes a dream, a trifle breaks. - Sea Dreams (l. 140) [Trifles] In crystal vapour everywhere Blue isles of heaven laughed between, And far, in forest-deeps unseen, The topmost elm-tree gather'd green From draughts of balmy air. - Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere [Elm] The boyhood of the year. - Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere (st. 3) [Spring] When cats run home and light is come, And dew is cold upon the ground, And the far-off stream is dumb, And the whirring sail goes round, And the whirring sail goes round; Alone and warming his five wits, The white owl in the belfry sits. - Song--The Owl [Owls] The sabbaths of Eternity. One sabbath deep and wide. - St. Agnes' Eve (st. 3) [Sabbath] Battering the gates of heaven with storms of prayer. - St. Simeon Stylites (l. 7) [Prayer] Here are cool mosses deep, And thro' the moss the ivies creep, And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep. - Th Lotos-Eaters--Choric Song (pt. I) [Flowers] In time there is no present, In eternity no future, In eternity no past. - The "How" and the "Why" [Eternity] And I too talk, and lose the touch I talk of. Surely, after all, The noblest answer unto such Is kindly silence when they brawl. - The After Thought, in "Punch", Mar. 7, 1846 [Silence] O Blackbird! sing me something well: While all the neighbors shoot thee round, I keep smooth plats of fruitful ground, Where thou may'st warble, eat and dwell. - The Blackbird [Blackbirds] I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. - The Brook [Brooks] Displaying page 14 of 18 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 [14] 15 16 17 18
