The Lost Pleiad, John Brainard, 1796-1828

 

O! How calm and how beautiful--look at the night!

The planets are wheeling in pathways of light;

And the lover, or poet, with heart, or with eye,

Sends his gaze with a tear, or his soul with a sigh.

 

But from Fesole's summit the Tuscan looked forth,

To eastward and westward, to south and to north;

Neither planet nor star could his vision delight,

'Till his own bright Pleiades should rise to his sight.

They rose, and he numbered their glittering train --

They shone bright as he counted them over again;

 

But the star of his love, the bright gem of the cluster,

Arose not to lend the Pleiades its lustre.

 

And thus, when the splendor of beauty has blazed,

On light and on loveliness, how have we gazed!

And how sad have we turned from the sight, when we found

That the fairest and sweetest was "not on the ground."

To the Moon, John Brainard, 1796-1828

 

Bless thy bright face! though often blessed before

By raving maniac and by pensive fool;

One would say something more-- but who as yet,

When looking at thee in the deep blue sky,

Could tell the poorest thought that struck his heart?

Yet all have tried, and all have tried in vain.

At thee, poor planet, is the first attempt

That the young rhymster ventures. And the sigh

The boyish lover heaves, is at the Moon.

Bards, who -- ere Milton sung or Shakspeare played

The dirge of sorrow, or the song of love,

Bards, who had higher soared than Fesole,

Knew better of the Moon. 'T was there they found

Vain thoughts, lost hopes, and fancy's happy dreams,

And all sweet sounds, such as have fled afar

From waking discords, and from daylight jars.

There Ariosto puts the widow's weeds

When she, new wedded, smiles abroad again,

And there the sad maid's innocence -- 't is there

 

That broken vows and empty promises,

All good intentions, with no answering deed

To anchor them on the substantial earth,

Are shrewdly packed. -- And could he think that thou,

So bright, so pure of aspect, so serene,

Art the mere storehouse of our faults and crimes?

I'd rather think as puling rhymsters think,

O; love-sick maidens fancy -- Yea, prefer

The dairy notion that thou art but cheese,

Green cheese --than thus misdoubt thy honest face.

Distances, William Stanley Braithwaite, 1878-1962

 

Just where that star above

Shines with a cold, dispassionate smile --

If in the flesh I'd travel there,

How many, many a mile!

 

If this, my soul, should be

Unprisoned from its earthly bond,

Time could not count its markless flight

Beyond that star, beyond!

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR, Jane Taylor, 1806

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

 

When the blazing sun is gone,

When there's nothing he shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

 

In the dark blue sky so deep

Through my curtains often peep

For you never close your eyes

Til the morning sun does rise

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are!

La steaua, Mihai Eminescu, 1886

 

La steaua care-a rasarit

E-o cale-atat de lunga,

Ca mii de ani i-au trebuit

Luminii sa ne-ajunga.

 

Poate de mult s-a stins in drum

In departari albastre,

Iar raza ei abia acum

Luci vederii noastre,

 

Icoana stelei ce-a murit

Incet pe cer se suie:

Era pe cand nu s-a zarit,

Azi o vedem, si nu e.

 

Tot astfel cand al nostru dor

Pieri in noapte-adanca,

Lumina stinsului amor

Ne urmareste inca.

 

Για τ’ άστρο

 

Για τ' άστρο αυτό που ανέτειλε

είναι η πορεία αιώνια

κι η λάμψη του, να φτάσει εδώ,

χιλιάδες θέλει χρόνια.

 

Ίσως να πάει πια καιρός

η αχτίδα του που εσβήσθη,

μα τούτη μόλις τη στιγμή

μας έχει εμάς φωτίσει.

 

Ήταν, σαν ζούσε, αόρατη·

τώρα, που’ χει πεθάνει,

η εικόνα του άφαντου αστεριού

στους ουρανούς εφάνη.

 

Έτσι, κι όταν ο πόθος μας

στο σκότος θα’ χει δύσει,

είδωλο αγάπης που’ σβησε

θα μας ακολουθήσει.

Blessing, Kagaya Yutaka

 

 

Here is the place where spring comes first in the world.

She comes up to the top of the tower overlooking Opal Gate.

Here comes the day when she blesses the coming of Spring.

" May our planet be blessed with breath of lives !

? May everyone be blessed with glorious breeze ! "

Aurora is going to fade into the sky of dawn with a bright melody of silence.
