Milano Rose

As the sunrise to the night,

As the north wind to the clouds,

As the earthquake's fiery flight,

Ruining mountain solitudes,

Everlasting Italy, 

Be those hopes and fears on thee. 

-- from To Italy - Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The Witch of Atlas

From its smooth shoulders hung two rapid wings

Fit to have borne it to the seventh sphere,

Tipped with the speed of liquid lightenings,

Dyed in the ardours of the atmosphere.

She led her creature to the boiling springs

Where the light boat was moored, and said "Sit here,"

And pointed to the prow, and took her seat

Beside the rudder with opposing feet. 

-- from The Witch Of Atlas by  Percy Bysshe Shelley

The ghosts swarm.

They speak as one

Each

Lady in Black

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning, 

Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.

I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, 

And destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.

She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men 

To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or god.

And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, 

So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.

Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say

I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.

My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.

I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.

And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.

Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me.

-- Lady in Black lyrics by Ken Hensley

Yet Look on Me

Yet look on me -- take not thine eyes away,

Which feed upon the love within mine own,

Which is indeed but the reflected ray

Of thine own beauty from my spirit thrown.

Yet speak to me -- thy voice is as the tone

Of my heart’s echo, and I think I hear

That thou yet lovest me; yet thou alone

Like one before a mirror, without care

Of aught but thine own features, imaged there;

And yet I wear out life in watching thee;

A toil so sweet at times, and thou indeed

Art kind when I am sick, and pity me. 

-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
