Strana 163 - We tore the tarry rope to shreds With blunt and bleeding nails ; We rubbed the doors, and scrubbed the floors And cleaned the shining rails : And rank by rank, we soaped the plank, And clattered with the pails.
Strana 189 - c'est supprimer les trois quarts de la jouissance du poème qui est faite du bonheur de deviner peu à peu. Le suggérer, voilà le rêve.
Strana 195 - Not that I love thy children, whose dull eyes See nothing save their own unlovely woe, Whose minds know nothing, nothing care to know,— But that the roar of thy Democracies, Thy reigns of Terror, thy great Anarchies, Mirror my wildest passions like the sea And give my rage a brother
