Friedrich Schiller - Breadth And Depth

Friedrich Schiller - Breadth And Depth

Full many a shining wit one sees, <br /> With tongue on all things well conversing; <br /> The what can charm, the what can please, <br /> In every nice detail rehearsing. <br /> Their raptures so transport the college, <br /> It seems one honeymoon of knowledge. <br /> <br /> Yet out they go in silence where <br /> They whilom held their learned prate; <br /> Ah! he who would achieve the fair, <br /> Or sow the embryo of the great, <br /> Must hoard--to wait the ripening hour-- <br /> In the least point the loftiest power. <br /> <br /> With wanton boughs and pranksome hues, <br /> Aloft in air aspires the stem; <br /> The glittering leaves inhale the dews, <br /> But fruits are not concealed in them. <br /> From the small kernel's undiscerned repose <br /> The oak that lords it o'er the forest grows.<br /><br />Friedrich Schiller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breadth-and-depth/

Ian Elliorr - Castaneda's Death

After all of that, you died like any ordinary man; <br />Then, the extraordinary: Hidden by disciples for two months! <br />What will they make of it? <br /> <br />Meanwhile, are you waiting for Juan and Genaro, <br />Hovering in that immense white dome <br />In the perfect world of beautiful red bugs? <br /> <br />Or have you been tipped into the Eagle’s beak? <br /> <br />Did you burn with the fire from within, <br />And did the Tenant hitch a ride, <br />Or did you leave her dangling, <br />Like your whilom wife and child? <br /> <br />Did you dance for your death on your place of predilection, <br />And did it squat there, watching? <br /> <br />Are you sitting quietly in a lodge for departed shamans, <br />Or sweating in a Catholic hell for your shenanigans? <br /> <br />Or is it possible nothing much has happened, <br />Just an ordinary man dying in seclusion?<br /><br />Ian Elliorr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/castaneda-s-death/

John Berryman - Dream Song 51: Our wounds to time, from all the other times

Our wounds to time, from all the other times, <br />sea-times slow, the times of galaxies <br />fleeing, the dwarfs' dead times, <br />lessen so little that if here in his crude rimes <br />Henry them mentions, do not hold it, please, <br />for a putting of man down. <br /> <br />Ol' Marster, being bound you do your best <br />versus we coons, spare now a cagey John <br />a whilom bits that whip: <br />who'll tell your fortune, when you have confessed <br />whose & whose woundings—against the innocent stars <br />& remorseless seas— <br /> <br />—Are you radioactive, pal? —Pal, radioactive. <br />—Has you the night sweats & the day sweats, pal? <br />—Pal, I do. <br />—Did your gal leave you? —What do you think, pal? <br />—Is that thing on the front of your head what it seems to be, pal? <br />—Yes, pal.<br /><br />John Berryman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-song-51-our-wounds-to-time-from-all-the-ot/
