Robert Louis Stevenson  After Reading Antony and Cleopatra As when the hunt by holt and field Drives on with horn and strife, Hunger of hopeless things pursues Our spirits throughout life.  The sea's roar fills us aching full Of objectless desire - The sea's roar, and the white moon-shine, And the reddening of the fire.  Who talks to me of reason now? It would be more delight To have died in Cleopatra's arms Than be alive to-night.

Robert Louis Stevenson

After Reading Antony and Cleopatra
As when the hunt by holt and field
Drives on with horn and strife,
Hunger of hopeless things pursues
Our spirits throughout life.

The sea's roar fills us aching full
Of objectless desire -
The sea's roar, and the white moon-shine,
And the reddening of the fire.

Who talks to me of reason now?
It would be more delight
To have died in Cleopatra's arms
Than be alive to-night.

 "About the Sheltered Garden Ground" About the sheltered garden ground The trees stand strangely still. The vale ne'er seemed so deep before, Nor yet so high the hill.  An awful sense of quietness, A fulness of repose, Breathes from the dewy garden-lawns, The silent garden rows.  As the hoof-beats of a troop of horse Heard far across a plain, A nearer knowledge of great thoughts Thrills vaguely through my brain.  I lean my head upon my arm, My heart's too full to think; Like the roar of seas, upon my heart Doth the morning stillness sink.

Translation BG 12.9: If you are unable to fix your mind steadily on Me, O Arjun, then practice remembering Me with devotion while constantly restraining the mind from worldly affairs.
