Сторінка 30 - A profound speculation about the creation, And organical life, and chaotical strife, With various notions of heavenly motions, And rivers and oceans, and valleys and mountains, And sources of fountains, and meteors on high, And stars in the sky. . . . We propose by and by (If you'll listen and hear) to make it all clear.
Сторінка 32 - Dodona, in fine For every oracular temple and shrine, The Birds are a substitute equal and fair, For on us you depend, and to us you repair For counsel and aid when a marriage is made, A purchase, a bargain, a venture in trade : Unlucky or lucky, whatever has struck ye, An ox or an ass that may happen to pass, A voice in the street, or a slave that you meet, A name or a word by chance overheard, If you deem it an omen, you call it a Bird ; And if birds are your omens, it clearly will follow, That...
Сторінка 82 - Prodicus pack with his preaching. It was Chaos and Night at the first, and the blackness of darkness, and hell's broad border, Earth was not, nor air, neither heaven ; when in depths of the womb of the dark without order First thing first-born of the black-plumed Night was a wind-egg hatched in her bosom, Whence timely with seasons revolving again sweet Love burst out as a blossom, Gold wings glittering forth of his back, like whirlwinds gustily turning. He, after his...
Сторінка 30 - Before the creation of ether and light, • Chaos and night together were plight, In the dungeon of Erebus foully bedight. Nor ocean or air or substance was there, Or solid or rare, or figure or form, But horrible Tartarus ruled in the storm.
Сторінка 30 - Ye Children of Man! whose life is a span, Protracted with sorrow from day to day. Naked and featherless, feeble and querulous, Sickly calamitous creatures of clay!
Сторінка 82 - Gold wings gleaming forth of his back, like whirlwinds gustily turning. He, after his wedlock with Chaos, whose wings are of darkness, in Hell broad-burning, For his nestlings begat him the race of us first, and upraised us to light new-lighted, And before this was not the race of the gods, until all things by Love were united: And of kind united with kind in communion of nature the sky and the sea are Brought forth, and the earth and the race of the gods everlasting and blest. So that we are Far...
Сторінка 31 - Was brooded and hatch'd, till time came about, And Love, the delightful, in glory flew out, In rapture and light, exulting and bright, Sparkling and florid, with stars in his forehead, His forehead and hair, and a flutter and flare, As he rose in the air, triumphantly furnish'd To range his dominions on glittering pinions, All golden and azure, and blooming and burnish...
Сторінка 52 - There came a body of thirty thousand cranes (I won't be positive, there might be more) With stones from Africa, in their craws and gizzards, Which the stone-curlews and stone-chatterers Worked into shape and finished.
Сторінка 11 - Hoop ! hoop ! Come in a troop, Come at a call, One and all, Birds of a feather, All together. Birds of an humble gentle bill Smooth and shrill, Dieted on seeds and grain, Rioting on the furrow'd plain, Pecking, hopping, Picking, popping, Among the barley newly sown.
Сторінка 83 - All best good things that befall men come from us birds, as is plain to all reason : For first we proclaim and make known to them spring, and the winter and autumn in season ; Bid sow, when the crane starts clanging for Afric, in shrill-voiced emigrant number, And calls to the pilot to hang up his rudder again for the season, and slumber ; And then weave a cloak for Orestes the thief, lest he strip men of theirs if it freezes. And again thereafter the kite reappearing announces a change in the breezes,...
