Text Appearing Before Image:
sappear.Leaving her dead; like frailest gossamere.Tinder and steel her mantle rive and rend.Nay, if this Night be anything at all. Sure she is daughter of the sun and earth;This holds, the other spreads that shadowy pall.Howbeit, they err who praise this gloomy birth.So frail and desolate and void of mirthThat one poor firefly can her might appall. LOVE, THE LIFE-GIVERTo ToMMASO de Cavalieri WITH your fair eyes a charming light I see.For which my own blind eyes would peer in vain;Stayed by your feet, the burden I sustainWhich my lame feet find all too strong for me;Wingless, upon your pinions forth I fly; Heavenward your spirit stirreth me to strain,Een as you will, I blush and blanch again.Freeze in the sun, burn neath a frosty sky.Your will includes and is the lord of mine; Life to my thoughts within your heart is given; My words begin to breathe upon your breath:Like to the moon am I, that cannot shine Alone; for lo! our eyes see naught in heavenSave what the living sun illumineth.

MICHAEL ANGELO READING HIS SONNETS TOVITTOHIA COLONNA From Paintintj bij II. Schneider MICHEL ANGELO IRREPARABLE LOSSAfter the Death of Vittoria Colonna WHEN my rude hammer to the stubborn stoneGives human shape, now that, now this, at will,Following his hand who wields and guides it still,It moves upon anothers feet alone: But that which dwells in heaven, the world doth fillWith beauty by pure motions of its own;And since tools fashion tools which else were none, Its life makes all that lives with living skill.Now, for that every stroke excels the moreThe higher at the forge it doth ascend, Her soul that fashioned minfe hath sought the skies.Wherefore unfinished I must meet my end,If God, the great Artificer, deniesThat aid which was unique on earth before. 998J 99^2
