A Man and a Woman Sit Near Each Other
Robert Bly
A man and a woman sit near each other, and they do not long
at this moment to be older, or younger, nor born
in any other nation, or time, or place.
They are content to be where they are, talking or not-talking.
Their breaths together feed someone whom we do not know.
The man sees the way his fingers move;
he sees her hands close around a book she hands to him.
They obey a third body that they share in common.
They have made a promise to love the body.
Age may come, parting may come, death will come.
A man and a woman sit near each other;
as they breathe they feed someone we do not know,
someone we know of, whom we have never seen.
He knows He Has Wings
What matter it though life uncertain be To all?
What though its goal Be never reached?
What though it fall and flee―
Have we not each a soul?
Be like the bird that on a bough too frail
To bear him gaily swings,
He carols though the slender branches fail―
He knows he has wings!
Farewel to Worldly Joyes
Anne Killigrew
Farewel to Unsubstantial Joyes,
Ye Gilded Nothings,Gaudy Toyes,
Too long ye have my Soul misled,
Too long with Aiery Diet fed:
But now my Heart ye shall no more
Deceive,as you have heretofore:
for when I hear such Sirens sing,
Like lthica's fore-warned King,
With prudent Resolution I
Will so my Will and Fancy tye,
That stronger to the Mast not he,
Than I to Reason bound will be:
And though your Witchcrafts strike my Ear,
Unhurt,like him,your Charms I'll hear.
