Leaves of Grass

  • Katia Alvarezfez uma citaçãohá 3 anos
    Ever the mutable,

    Ever materials, changing, crumbling, re-cohering,

    Ever the ateliers, the factories divine,

    Issuing eidolons.

    Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat,
    Not words, not music or rhyme I want, not custom or lecture, not
    even the best,
    Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice.
    I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,
    How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me,

    O Me! O Life!
    O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
    Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
    Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,
    and who more faithless?)
    Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the
    struggle ever renew'd,
    Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see
    around me,
    Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
    The question, O me! so sad, recurring—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.

    We are two resplendent suns, we it is who balance ourselves orbic
    and stellar, we are as two comets,
    We prowl fang'd and four-footed in the woods, we spring on prey,
    We are two clouds forenoons and afternoons driving overhead,
    We are seas mingling, we are two of those cheerful waves rolling
    over each other and interwetting each other,
    We are what the atmosphere is, transparent, receptive, pervious, impervious,
    We are snow, rain, cold, darkness, we are each product and influence
    of the globe,
    We have circled and circled till we have arrived home again, we two,
    We have voided all but freedom and all but our own joy.

    Out of the rolling ocean the crowd came a drop gently to me,
    Whispering I love you, before long I die,
    I have travel'd a long way merely to look on you to touch you,
    For I could not die till I once look'd on you,
    For I fear'd I might afterward lose you.

    Now we have met, we have look'd, we are safe,
    Return in peace to the ocean my love,
    I too am part of that ocean my love, we are not so much separated,
    Behold the great rondure, the cohesion of all, how perfect!
    But as for me, for you, the irresistible sea is to separate us,
    As for an hour carrying us diverse, yet cannot carry us diverse forever;
    Be not impatient—a little space—know you I salute the air, the
    ocean and the land,
    Every day at sundown for your dear sake my love.

    To have the feeling to-day or any day I am sufficient as I am.

    O something unprov'd! something in a trance!
    To escape utterly from others' anchors and holds!
    To drive free! to love free! to dash reckless and dangerous!
    To court destruction with taunts, with invitations!
    To ascend, to leap to the heavens of the love indicated to me!
    To rise thither with my inebriate soul!
    To be lost if it must be so!
    To feed the remainder of life with one hour of fulness and freedom!
    With one brief hour of madness and joy.

    O I willingly stake all for you,
    O let me be lost if it must be so!
    O you and I! what is it to us what the rest do or think?
    What is all else to us? only that we enjoy each other and exhaust
    each other if it must be so
  • Enya Almanzafez uma citaçãohá 3 dias
    Hark close and still what I now whisper to you,
    I love you, O you entirely possess me,
    O that you and I escape from the rest and go utterly off, free and lawless,
    Two hawks in the air, two fishes swimming in the sea not more
    lawless than we
  • Enya Almanzafez uma citaçãohá 3 dias
    I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
    If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.

    You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
    But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
    And filter and fibre your blood.

    Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
    Missing me one place search another,
    I stop somewhere waiting for you.
