Walter Savage Landor Poems

The Year's twelve daughters had in turn gone by,
Of measured pace tho' varying mien all twelve,
Some froward, some sedater, some adorn'd
For festival, some reckless of attire.

   My fingers ache, my lips are dry:
O, if you felt the pain I feel!
   But O, who ever felt as I?

Lightly advancing thro' her star-trimm'd crowd,

Ah, what the form divine!
What every virtue, every grace!

...

Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art;
I warmed both hands before the fire of life,
...

One lovely name adorns my song,
And, dwelling in the heart,
...

An ancient chestnut’s blossoms threw
Their heavy odour over two:
Leucippe, it is said, was one;
The other, then, was Alciphron.
...
