John Crowe Ransom: Frases em inglês

I know a lady with a terrible tongue,
Blear eyes fallen from blue,
All her perfections tarnished—and yet it is not long
Since she was lovelier than any of you.”

Janet implored us, "Wake her from her sleep!"
And would not be instructed in how deep
Was the forgetful kingdom of death.”

Of chills and fever she died, of fever and chills,

And of medicos marveling sweetly on her ills.”

Possessed me, and were long and loath at going:
