The Blue Lagoon
TIRED of the flowers' voluptuous whispering, Nonnoune and Louisy with mixed curls hold Each other's hand, he pale bronze, she browned gold, Upon the cliff in Click here bathed deep, Hearkening the blue chant of the low lagoon. In this half-foreseen day they have been shown The force of a word of simple tenderness, And how a friendly touch grows a caress, And how much sweeter, once the secret known, When cheek against belovèd cheek reposes, And fervid mouth upon the neck's tea-roses. Under the heavy palms, under the woven tresses Of the clear filagos--the Click here with drenched eyes In irony of pity feel surprise To hear the turtles weeping in the wood's recesses.   Click here

Click hereFrom whose high crown the rugged forests seem

Click hereLike shaven lawns, and lakes with frequent gleam,

Click here"Like broken mirrors," flash back light again.

Click hereEastward the sea, with its majestic plain,

Click hereEndless, of radiant, restless blue, superb

Click hereWith might and music, whether storms perturb

Click hereIts reckless waves, or halcyon winds that reign,

Click hereMake it serene as wisdom. Storied Spain

Click hereIs the next coast, and yet we may not sigh

Click hereFor lands beyond the inexorable main;

Click hereOur noble scenes have yet no history.

Click hereAll subtler charms than those that feed the eye,

Click hereOur lives must give them; 'tis an aim austere,

Click hereBut opes new vistas, and a pathway clear.

Bonus Poem:

       A Career In Letters

When Liberverm resigned the chair
Of This or That in college, where
For two decades he'd gorged his brain
With more than it could well contain,
In order to relieve the stress
He took to writing for the press.
Then Pondronummus said, 'I'll help
This mine of talent to devel'p;'
And straightway bought with coin and credit
The _Thundergust_ for him to edit.

The great man seized the pen and ink
And wrote so hard he couldn't think;
Ideas grew beneath his fist
And flew like falcons from his wrist.
His pen shot sparks all kinds of ways
Till all the rivers were ablaze,
And where the coruscations fell
Men uttered words I dare not spell.

Eftsoons with corrugated brow,
Wet towels bound about his pow,
Locked legs and failing appetite,
He thought so hard he couldn't write.
His soaring fancies, chickenwise,
Came home to roost and wouldn't rise.
With dimmer light and milder heat
His goose-quill staggered o'er the sheet,
Then dragged, then stopped; the finish came-
He couldn't even write his name.
The _Thundergust_ in three short weeks
Had risen, roared, and split its cheeks.
Said Pondronummus, 'How unjust!
The storm I raised has laid my dust!'

When, Moneybagger, you have aught
Invested in a vein of thought,
Be sure you've purchased not, instead,
That salted claim, a bookworm's head.

                               Ambrose Bierce
