“The Clouds are gathering in their western dome,
Deep-drenched with sunlight, as a fleece with dew,
While I with baffled effort still pursue
And track these waters toward their mountain-home,
In vain—though cataract, and mimic foam”
R C Trench (19c.)

“The wind pauses
and brings a moment’s peace—
but still leaves my questions unanswered
hanging from the branches of red trees.”

"The thistle rises and forever will,
Getherin’ the generations under’t.
This is the monument o’ a’ they were,
And a’ they hoped and wondered."

“When descends on the Atlantic
The gigantic
Storm-wind of the equinox,
Landward in his wrath he scourges
The toiling surges,
Laden with seaweed from the rocks”

“It was my thirtieth year to heaven
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood
 And the mussel pooled and the heron
 Priested shore
 The morning beckon
With water praying and call of seagull and rook”

Balamory!
What’s the story in Balamory
Wouldn't you like to know?
What's the story in Balamory
Where would you like to go?”

“On a scale of Lustrous to Sockeye,
Fishscale to Fire-Dot. Not Ichthyosis:
Lichen. Fruiting bodies in a calcareous
spot. Goldspeck. Blushing.
O the diffuse eruption of dazzling papulæ!”

"Trees are poems
that the earth writes
upon the sky.
We fell them down
and turn them into paper
that we may record
our emptiness."

“There along the rocky strand
Grows the sleek sea tangle.
Like the swaying sea tangle,
Unresisting would she lie beside me—
My wife whom I love with a love
Deep as the miru-growing ocean.”

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

“The moors are for the hare and grouse,
The corries for the antlered stag,
But shaggy big-horned cattle browse
On the fringe of bracken and rush and flag.”

“Here the crow starves, here the patient stag
Breeds for the rifle. Between the soft moor
And the soft sky, scarcely room
To leap or soar. Substance crumbles, in the thin air
Moon cold or moon hot. The road winds in
Listlessness of ancient war”
T S Eliot (1935)

“The pine tree lives to a thousand years
The hibiscus flower lasts but a single day.
Both go to nothingness,
Why do we boast of our years and months?”

“You say it is not a poem,
It is a blade of grass and grass
Is not quite good enough.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You are indignant.
You say it is too easy to offer grass.
It is absurd.
Anyone can offer a blade of grass.”

“This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.”

I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain”

I have suffered the atrocity of sunsets.
Scorched to the root
My red filaments burn and stand, a hand of wires.
Now I break up in pieces that fly about like clubs.”

"Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."
Robert Frost (1923)

"The sun spun like
a tossed coin.
It whirled on the azure sky,
it clattered into the horizon,
it clicked in the slot,
and neon-lights popped
and blinked "Time expired,"
as on a parking meter.."

“Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.”

More blessed still this tower;
A bloody, arrogant power
Rose out of the race
Uttering, mastering it”

“You’ve never heard them sound so hushed before.
Don’t breathe. Don’t move. Stay dumb.
Hide in your blindness.
They’re moving closer, someone
stumbles, mutters;
Their words and laughter scuffle, and they’re gone.”

Light upon happy feet,
Both eye and heart entrancing
Mingle, escape, and meet;
Come joyous-eyed and advancing
Or floatingly retreat.”

Is an awesome sight this day.”
