The Germ ~ Ogden NashThe Germ ~ Ogden Nash
A mighty creature is the germ,Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my puppet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Eye, they burnUp the page.

A LamentBy Percy Bysshe Shelley
O World! O Life! O Time!On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;When will return the glory of your prime?
No more -Oh, never more!
Out of the day and nightA joy has taken flight:
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoarMove my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more -Oh, never more!
