THE SCRIBE


What lovely things

Thy hand hath made:

The smooth-plumed bird

In its emerald shade,

The seed of the grass,

The speck of the stone

Which the wayfaring ant

Stirs -- and hastes on!


Though I should sit

By some tarn in thy hills,

Using its ink

As the spirit wills

To write of Earth's wonders,

Its live, willed things,

Flit would the ages

On soundless wings

Ere unto Z

My pen drew nigh

Leviathan told,

And the honey-fly:

And still would remain

My wit to try --

My worn reeds broken,

The dark tarn dry,

All words forgotten --

Thou, Lord, and I.


By Walter de la Mer (1873 - 1956)

Anacreon

The Muse of Anacreon, Arnold Böcklin 1873









Muse


In my youth's years, she loved me, I am sure.

The flute of seven pipes she gave in my tenure

And harked to me with smile -- without speed,

Along the ringing holes of the reed,

I got to play with my non-artful fingers

The peaceful songs of Phrygian village singers,

And the important hymns, that gods to mortals bade.

From morn till night in oaks' silent shade

I diligently harked to the mysterious virgin;

Rewarding me, by chance, for any good decision,

And taking locks aside of the enchanting face,

She sometimes took from me the flute, such commonplace.

The reed became alive in consecrated breathing

And filled the heart with holiness unceasing.


- Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

I was looking for something else and found instead this delightful collection of women's shoes from the 1940s. Interestingly enough, there's not a single pair of them I wouldn't be glad to wear today!
