For I’ll think about my Cat Jeoffry….
For he can arrange with gravity which is persistence upon approbation.
For he can fetch and carry, which is persistence in employment.
For he can soar over a stick which is persistence upon proof constructive.
For he can spraggle upon waggle on the phrase of command.
For he can soar from an eminence into his grasp’s bosom.
For he can catch the cork and toss it once more.
Christopher Sensible
From Jubilate Agno, circa 1759
Oh, greenly and honest within the lands of the solar,
The vines of the gourd and the wealthy melon run,
And the rock and the tree and the cottage enfold,
With broad leaves all greenness and blossoms all gold,
Like that which o’er Nineveh’s prophet as soon as grew,
Whereas he waited to know that his warning was true,
And longed for the storm-cloud, and listened in useless
For the frenzy of the whirlwind and purple fire-rain.
John Greenleaf Whittier
From The Pumpkin, 1831
River! that in silence windest
By way of the meadows, brilliant and free,
Until at size thy relaxation thou findest
Within the bosom of the ocean!
4 lengthy years of mingled feeling,
Half in relaxation, and half in strife,
I’ve seen thy waters stealing
Onward, just like the stream of life.
Thou hast taught me, Silent River!
Many a lesson, deep and lengthy;
Thou hast been a beneficiant giver;
I may give thee however a music.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
From To the River Charles, 1841.
