Orpheus, Shakespeare and Redon
09/02/10 Filed in: Poems
Head of Orpheus by Odilon Redon
Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.
Everything that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their head and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep or hearing, die.
William Shakespeare
Keats for St. Valentine's Day

Bright Star
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art ––
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Or snow upon the mountains and the moors ––
No –– yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever –– or else swoon to death.
John Keats

Easter Poem: Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins
29/01/08 Filed in: Easter
Windhover
To Christ our Lord
I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon,
in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and
striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow -bend: the hurl
and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird, ---the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume here
Buckel! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
No wonder of it: Sheer plod makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion.
