Sonnet: I Muse Over Poem by Dante Alighieri
Sonnet: I Muse Over
At whiles (yea oftentimes) I muse over
The quality of anguish that is mine
Through Love: then pity makes my voice to pine
Saying, 'Is any else thus, anywhere?'
Love smileth me, whose strength is ill to bear;
So that of all my life is left no sigh
Except one thought; and that, because 'tis thine,
Leaves not the body but abideth there.
And then if I, whom other aid forsook,
Would aid myself, and innocent of art
Would fain have sight of thee as a last hope,
No sooner do I lift mine eyes to look
Than the blood seems as shaken from my heart,
And all my pulses beat at once and stop.
Such a great poem by Dante Alighieri..................
A great declaration of love as the poet hopes for a sight of his love, and when he does, 'blood seems as shaken from my heart'.
I lift mine eyes to look! I lift my eyes to look! ! To see the things around. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
The power of love is impossible to surmount in life sure! That truth the Poet nicely depicts in this beautiful Sonnet!

Than the blood seems as shaken from my heart, And all my pulses beat at once and stop.... One theme, love and anguish, and one thought all thru the sonnet. Lovely
