Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

The keen white-winged north-easter
That stings and spurs thy sea

Love armed with knowledge, winged and wise,
Should hush the wind of war, and see,

Mourning on earth, as when dark hours descend,
Wide-winged with plagues, from heaven; when hope and mirth
Wane, and no lips rebuke or reprehend

Saw hard on haven
The wide-winged raven
At mainmast height;

Springing and spurning the tufts of wild heather,
Sweeping, wide-winged, through the blue dome of light.
Everything mortal has moments immortal,

It is a glossy skating rink,
On which winged spirals clasp and bend each other:
And suddenly slide backwards towards the centre,

"White-winged the cherubim,
Yet whiter seraphim,

Their hearts on flight along the track He made,
Winged by desire.

And all the empire faded from his coat.
Then from far off a winged vessel came,
Swift as a swallow, subtle as a flame:

We cause feet fly, we mingle hares with snakes,
Victorious Perseus a winged steed's back takes.
Our verse great Tityus a huge space outspreads,
