hardness and brilliancy of blue enamel The sky was as a shield that caught the stain of blood and battle from the dying sun The sky was clear and blue, and the air as soft as milk The sky was like a peach The sky where stars like lilies white and fair shine through the mists The solid air around me there heaved like a roaring ocean The solid mountains gleamed like the unsteady sea The soul is like a well of water springing up into everlasting life The sound is like a noon-day gale The sound is like a silver-fountain that springeth in a golden basin The sound of a thousand tears, like softly pattering wings The sound of your running feet that like the sea-hoofs beat The spear-tongued lightning slipped like a snake The Spring breaks like a bird The stacks of corn in brown array, like tattered wigwams on the plain The stars come down and trembling glow like blossoms on the waves below The stars lay on the lapis-lazuli sky like white flower-petals on still deep water [lapis-lazuli = opaque to translucent blue, violet-blue, or greenish-blue gemstone] The stars pale and silent as a seer The strange cold sense of aloofness that had numbed her senses suddenly gave way like snow melting in the spring The sudden thought of your face is like a wound when it comes unsought The sun, like a great dragon, writhes in gold The sun on the sea-wave lies white as the moon The surf was like the advancing lines of an unknown enemy flinging itself upon the shore The terrible past lay afar, like a dream left behind in the night The tide was in the salt-weed, and like a knife it tore The time, gliding like a dream The torrent from the hills leaped down their rocky stairways like wild steeds The tree whose plumed boughs are soft as wings of birds The uproar and contention pierced him like arrows The veiled future bowed before me like a vision of promise The velvet grass that is like padding to earth's meager ribs The villa dips its foot in the lake, smiling at its reflection like a bather lingering on the brink The voice of Fate, crying like some old Bellman through the world The voice that rang in the night like a bugle call The warm kindling blood burned her cheeks like the breath of a hot wind The waves were rolling in, long and lazy, like sea-worn travelers The whole truth, naked, cold, and fatal as a patrio
