Lewis Carroll: Echoes

- LewisCarroll

Lewis Carroll

(1832 — 1898)

 

Echoes

 

Lady Clara Vere de Vere

Was eight years old, she said:

Every ringlet, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden thread.

 

She took her little porringer:

Of me she shall not win renown:

For the baseness of its nature shall have strength to drag her

down.

 

“Sisters and brothers, little Maid?

There stands the Inspector at thy door:

Like a dog, he hunts for boys who know not two and two are four.”

“Kind words are more than coronets,”

She said, and wondering looked at me:

“It is the dead unhappy night, and I must hurry home to tea.”

Martin Beversluis: Nullen en enen

fleursdumal 111a

 

Martin Beversluis

Nullen en enen

 

Hoe ik je een tijd lang nergens vond

en daarna alleen in nullen en enen

de digitaal van facebook

 

het was min of meer hetzelfde

je stond in een lijstje van mensen die ik toch nooit belde

de herinnering vergeelde rouwomrand

je werd een stukje verleden dat ik oppakken kon

 

dat je plots opnieuw in je gedaante van muze

voor mijn deur stond was een verklaarbaar wonder

de nullen en enen zijn vrouw geworden logisch

 

ik kan je aanraken en met je praten

er is zelfs een kans dat je me begrijpt.

Matthew Arnold: The Last Word

- arnold matth

Matthew Arnold

(1822 – 1888)

 

The Last Word

 

Creep into thy narrow bed,

Creep, and let no more be said!

Vain thy onset! all stands fast.

Thou thyself must break at last.

 

Let the long contention cease!

Geese are swans, and swans are geese.

Let them have it how they will!

Thou art tired: best be still.

 

They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?

Better men fared thus before thee;

Fired their ringing shot and passed,

Hotly charged – and sank at last.

 

Charge once more, then, and be dumb!

Let the victors, when they come,

When the forts of folly fall,

Find thy body by the wall!
