PSALM 23,
A Psalm of King David

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he
leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the
LORD for ever.

ee cummings,
the boys i mean are not refined





the boys i mean are not refined

they go with girls who buck and bite

they do not give a fuck for luck
they hump them thirteen times a night

one hangs a hat upon her tit
one carves a cross on her behind


they do not give a shit for wit
the boys i mean are not refined

they come with girls who bite and buck
who cannot read and cannot write

who laugh like they would fall apart
and masturbate with dynamite

the boys i mean are not refined
they cannot chat of that and this

they do not give a fart for art
they kill like you would take a piss

they speak whatever's on their mind
they do whatever's in their pants

the boys i mean are not refined
they shake the mountains when they dance

SHAKESPEARE SONNET 55

SHAKESPEARE SONNET 55



Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contènts
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.

 


When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.

'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.

So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes.

KEATS, ON FIRST LOOKING INTO CHAPMAN'S HOMER

KEATS,
ON FIRST LOOKING INTO
CHAPMAN'S HOMER

 

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; 





Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.


 The imaginative, poetic power of Chapman's translation of Homer moved John Keats. He wrote this sonnet--after spending all night reading Homer with his friend, Leigh Hunt. “To communicate how profoundly the revelation of Homer's genius affected him, Keats uses imagery of exploration and discovery. In a sense, the reading experience itself becomes a Homeric voyage, both for the poet and the reader.”Keats wrote this poem in October 1816.  Chapman's Homer first apppeared in its entirety two hundred years earlier in 1616.
