[DesEsseintes]

And I yours, madam. Had we but world enough and time...

...Thus, though we cannot make our sun. Stand still, yet we will make him run.

 

[DesEsseintes]

...Thus, though we cannot make our sun. Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Or, to shift poets but keep to themes, a little John Donne?

BUSY old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Thy beams so reverend, and strong
Why shouldst thou think ?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long.
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and to-morrow late tell me,
Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou left'st them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, "All here in one bed lay."

She's all states, and all princes I ;
Nothing else is ;
Princes do but play us ; compared to this,
All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
Thou, Sun, art half as happy as we,
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.

I think perhaps I shall move it to my Passionate Poetry thread if I may? It is my hope that you might enjoy posting there too"

Quote of the Day!



~We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

To quote from Whitman,

"O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish;

what good amid these, O me, O life?"

Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.

That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.

What will your verse be? ~




John Keating - Dead Poets Society

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

It is fine to quote poetry here, I just wanted your poem for my other thread and felt it rude to simply steal it. Further, I thought that you would be a welcome contributor to that thread also...which you are.

I thought it was so you when I came across it. I only wish it had been accredited to whoever said it.

“...and, sometimes, looking at your ass, your legs, I see the old Greek woman you are going to be one day, you with your city woman’s view of the peasants, and I love you then, I want to be old with you, both of us hundreds of years old, and still loving each other, making tea and getting drunk and kissing in public and still writing ferocious poems to each other.”

Robert Kroetsch — Letters to Salonika
