Emily Dickinson I Died For Beauty #449<br />
<br />
I died for beauty, but was scarce<br />
Adjusted in the tomb, <br />
When one who died for truth was lain <br />
In an adjoining room.<br />
<br />
He questioned softly why I failed? <br />
"For beauty," I replied. <br />
"And I for truth,--the two are one; <br />
We brethren are," he said.<br />
<br />
And so, as kinsmen met a night, <br />
We talked between the rooms. <br />
Until the moss had reached our lips, <br />
And covered up our names.Fred L Taulbee Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05969262635897334216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569527346763980390.post-20044703022101414432014-06-04T20:21:00.005-07:002016-03-14T01:28:24.481-07:00I Like a Look of Agony #241 Emily Dickinson Recitation and Explanation <br /><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: x-large;">Emily Dickinson</span><br />

<br />
Up the crag<br />
In the searing wind, <br />
Naked and bleeding<br />
I fought blind.<br />
<br />
Then at dawn<br />
On the snowy height<br />
I seized a spear<br />
By the eastern light.<br />
<br />
On I trudged<br />
In the eye of the sun<br />
Past the cromlech<br />
I found a gun.<br />
<br />
Then I strayed<br />
In the cities of men, <br />
In the house of my Love<br />
I found a pen!Fred L Taulbee Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05969262635897334216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569527346763980390.post-56420289358635003682014-02-10T00:12:00.000-08:002014-02-10T23:09:05.835-08:00anyone lived in a pretty how town e e cummings with explanation<span style="font-size: x-large;">anyone lived in a pretty how town </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Under the hive-like dome the stooping haunted readers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Go up and down the alleys, tap the cells of knowledge --</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Honey and wax, the accumulation of years --</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Some on commission, some for the love of learning,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Some because they have nothing better to do</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Or because they hope these walls of books will deaden</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The drumming of the demon in their ears.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Cranks, hacks, poverty-stricken scholars,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In pince-nez, period hats or romantic beards</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And cherishing their hobby or their doom</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Some are too much alive and some are asleep</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hanging like bats in a world of inverted values,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Folded up in themselves in a world which is safe and silent:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is the British Museum Reading Room.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Out on the steps in the sun the pigeons are courting,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Puffing their ruffs and sweeping their tails or taking</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A sun-bath at their ease</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And under the totem poles -- the ancient terror --</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Between the enormous fluted Ionic columns</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There seeps from heavily jowled or hawk-like foreign faces</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The guttural sorrow of the refugees.</span>Fred L Taulbee Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05969262635897334216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569527346763980390.post-74237183892885444092013-11-06T20:14:00.002-08:002014-01-24T17:14:37.840-08:00I Am the Mountainy Singer Joseph Campbell <dl>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>

</span></dt>

<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">The fire on the open hearth,
</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">

</span></dt>

</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">The fisher lost in the mountain loch,
</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">The cry at the mouth of morn. </span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">

<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">No other life I sing,
</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">For I am sprung of the stock
</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">That broke the hilly land for bread,
</span></dt>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<dt><span style="font-size: x-large;">And built the nest in the rock!

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When You Are Old<br />By William Butler Yeats<br /><br />When you are old and grey and full of sleep,<br />And nodding by the fire, take down this book,<br />And slowly read, and dream of the soft look<br />Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;<br /><br />How many loved your moments of glad grace,<br />And loved your beauty with love false or true,<br />But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,<br />And loved the sorrows of your changing face;<br /><br />And bending down beside the glowing bars,<br />Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled<br />And paced upon the mountains overhead<br />And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">by Thomas Hardy</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave? <br />
"Ah, are you digging on my grave <br />
My loved one? -- planting rue?" <br />
-- "No, yesterday he went to wed <br />
One of the brightest wealth has bred. <br />
'It cannot hurt her now,' he said, <br />
'That I should not be true.'" </span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
"Then who is digging on my grave? <br />
My nearest dearest kin?" <br />
-- "Ah, no; they sit and think, 'What use! <br />
What good will planting flowers produce? <br />
No tendance of her mound can loose <br />
Her spirit from Death's gin.' " </span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
"But some one digs upon my grave? <br />
My enemy? -- prodding sly?" <br />
-- "Nay: when she heard you had passed the Gate <br />
That shuts on all flesh soon or late, <br />
She thought you no more worth her hate, <br />
And cares not where you lie." </span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
"Then, who is digging on my grave? <br />
Say -- since I have not guessed!" <br />
-- "O it is I, my mistress dear, <br />
Your little dog, who still lives near, <br />
And much I hope my movements here <br />
Have not disturbed your rest?" </span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
"Ah yes! You dig upon my grave . . . <br />
Why flashed it not on me <br />
That one true heart was left behind! <br />
What feeling do we ever find <br />
To equal among human kind <br />
A dog's fidelity!" </span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
"Mistress, I dug upon your grave <br />
To bury a bone, in case <br />
I should be hungry near this spot <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Mean to do?” </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I say: “For all I know, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wait, and let Time go by, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Till my change come.”—”Just so,” </span></span><br />

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">From one I took an even greater love of movies</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">From one I took an obsession with lizards</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of you got me high</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of you fell in love with me</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And with you so did I</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of you are gone</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I left some of you </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And some of you moved on</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">From you I took a taste for Chambord</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of you were smart</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some of you were dumb</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And I was sometimes the same</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sometimes a hero sometimes a bum</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Your soldiers

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Me</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You made it
illegal to aid and abet me</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You made it

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And when that
wasn’t enough</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You sent your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You put me in

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Put me to the
rack</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And now you’re
twisting the thumbscrews</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And shackling me</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And torturing me</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But you won’t
change the way I feel</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You’ll only
change the way you show your love</span></span></div>
