Original Japanese theme
“See where my Love sits in the beds of spices, Beset all round with camphor, myrrh, and roses, And interlaced with curious devices Which her apart from all the world incloses! There doth she tune her lute for her delight, And with sweet music makes the ground to move, Whilst I, poor I, do sit in heavy plight, Wailing alone my unrespected love;” —Bartholomew Griffin (d. 1602)
“But the dark changed to red, and torches shone, And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop Shouldered a litter with a wounded man, Or smote upon the string and to the sound Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.” —William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.” —Lucy Larcom (18241893)
