Life and Death by Edward Young Life makes the soul dependent on the dust, Death gives her wings to mount above the spheres. Through chinks, styled organs, dim life peeps at light, Death bursts th' involving cloud, and all is day ; All eye, all ear, the disembodied power. Death has feigned evils, Nature shall not feel. Life, ill substantial, Wisdom cannot shun. Is not the mighty mind, - that son of…
The Cross by John Donne Since Christ embraced the Cross itself, dare I His image, th’image of his Cross deny? Would I have profit by the sacrifice, And dare the chosen altar to despise? It bore all other sins, but is it fit That is should bear the sin of scorning it? Who from the picture would avert his eye, How would he fly his pains, who there did die? From me, no pulpit, nor misgrounded law,…

Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the pleasing theme;…
A gentleman, while reading the newspaper, feeling bothered by the buzzing of a wasp about his head, beat it down. It fell through the open window and lay on the sill as if dead. A few seconds afterward, to his great surprise, a large wasp flew on to the window-sill, and after buzzing around his wounded brother for a few minutes, began to lick him all over. The sick wasp seemed to revive under this…
The Virgin by William Wordsworth Mother, whose virgin bosom was uncrost With the least shade of thought to sin allied; Woman, above all women glorified, Our tainted nature's solitary boast; Purer than foam on central ocean tost, Brighter than eastern skies at daybreak strewn With fancied roses, than the unblem -ished moon Before her wane begins on heaven's blue coast, Thy image falls to earth. Yet…
