Make it Snow! by Fr. John Milton<br /><br />On the Morning of Christ's Nativity<br />This is the month, and this the happy morn<br />Wherein the Son of Heaven's eternal King,<br />Of wedded Maid, and Virgin Mother born,<br />Our great redemption from above did bring;<br />For so the holy sages once did sing,<br />That he our deadly forfeit should release,<br />And with his Father work us a perpetual peace.<br /><br />II<br />That glorious Form, that Light insufferable,<br />And that far-beaming blaze of Majesty,<br />Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table,<br />To sit the midst of Trinal Unity,<br />He laid aside, and here with us to be,<br />Forsook the courts of everlasting day,<br />And chose with us a dark-some house of mortal clay.<br /><br />III<br />Say Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein<br />Afford a present to the Infant God?<br />Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,<br />To welcome him to this his new abode,<br />Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,<br />Hath took no print of the approaching light,<br />And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright?<br /><br />IV<br />See how from far upon the eastern road<br />The star-led wizards haste with odors sweet:<br />O run, prevent them with thy humble ode,<br />And lay it lowly at his blessed feet;<br />Have thou the honor first thy Lord to greet,<br />And join thy voice unto the angel quire,<br />From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.</div>

<br />After you have spent all the money modistes and manicures and mannikins will take for fixing you over into a thing the people on the streets call proud and beautiful,<br /><br />After the shops and fingers have worn out all they have and know and can hope to have and know for the sake of making you what the people on the streets call proud and beautiful,<br /><br />After there is absolutely nothing more to be done for the sake of staging you as a great enigmatic bird of paradise and they must all declare you to be proud and beautiful,<br /><br />After you have become the last word in good looks, insofar as good looks may be fixed and formulated, then, why then, there is nothing more to it then, it is then you listen and see how voices and eyes declare you to be proud and beautifulKChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03348637126388898921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954948522984527353.post-23384260908014462252014-01-19T04:48:00.003-08:002014-01-19T04:48:55.082-08:00The Angel by William Blake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I Dreamt a Dream! what can it mean?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that I was a maiden Queen:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guarded by an Angel mild;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Witless woe, was neer beguil'd!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I wept both night and day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he wip'd my tears away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I wept both day and night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And hid from him my hearts delight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he took his wings and fled:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the morn blush'd rosy red:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dried my tears & armd my fears,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With ten thousand shields and spears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soon my Angel came again;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was arm'd, he came in vain:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the time of youth was fled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And grey hairs were on my head </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We, unaccustomed to courage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
exiles from delight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
live coiled in shells of loneliness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
until love leaves its high holy temple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and comes into our sight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to liberate us into life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love arrives</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and in its train come ecstasies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
old memories of pleasure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ancient histories of pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet if we are bold,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
love strikes away the chains of fear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from our souls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are weaned from our timidity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the flush of love's light</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we dare be brave</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And suddenly we see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that love costs all we are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and will ever be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet it is only love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which sets us free. </div>

I arise from dreams of thee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the first sweet sleep of night,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the winds are breathing low,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the stars are shining bright.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I arise from dreams of thee,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a spirit in my feet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Has led me -who knows how?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To thy chamber-window, Sweet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wandering airs they faint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the dark, the silent stream -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The champak odours fail</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nightingale's complaint,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It dies upon her heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I must die on thine,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O beloved as thou art!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh lift me from the grass!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I die! I faint! I fail!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let thy love in kisses rain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my lips and eyelids pale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cheek is cold and white, alas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart beats loud and fast;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh press it close to thine again,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where it will break at last! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I will drive all those lovers out and cry -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one has ever loved but you and I. </div>

When you came, you were like red wine and honey,<br />And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.<br />Now you are like morning bread,<br />Smooth and pleasant.<br /><br />I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,<br />But I am completely nourished. </div>

<br />Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?<br />Thou art more lovely and more temperate;<br />Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,<br />And summer's lease hath all too short a date;<br /><br />Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,<br />And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;<br />And every fair from fair sometime declines,<br />By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;<br /><br />But thy eternal summer shall not fade,<br />Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;<br />Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,<br />When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:<br /><br />So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,<br />So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It lies not in our power to love or hate,<br />
For will in us is overruled by fate.<br />
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,<br />
We wish that one should love, the other win;<br />
<br />
And one especially do we affect<br />
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:<br />
The reason no man knows; let it suffice<br />
What we behold is censured by our eyes.<br />
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:<br />
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight? <br />
