In Horologium

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley

INTER marmoreas Leonorae pendula colles
Fortunata mmis Machina dicit horas.
Quas manibus premit ilia duas insensa papillas
Cur mihi sit digito tangere, amata, nefas?

    Song of the Bowmen of Shu
    by Ezra Pound
    Here we are, picking the first fern-shoots And saying: When shall we get back to our country? Here we are because we have the Ken-nin for our foemen, We have no comfort because of these Mongols.
