  1. From the Rubayat of Omar Khyam

    "Awake for morning in the bowl of nIght

    Has flung the stars and put the moon to flight

    And lo the hunter of the East has caught

    The sultans turret in a noose of light"


  2. Goodness that's specific.  I can only think of 1:

    Through the tall grass in your head – Brian Patten

    Through the tall grass in your head

    a grasshopper made out of stars is leaping;

    It moves through those planets of information

    Then leaves them behind it.

    They’ll soon explode.

    You no longer bother watching how

    Time and age leak down your mirror disfiguring it,

    Nor how that animal the centuries have tamed

    Roams less restless now inside you.

    You have reached that state

    Where so much has ceased to matter

    And outside your window you see that the garden too

    Has grown weary of sunlight,

    And time has whittled down the cabbage leaves to thin white wings;

    When memory, befuddled, drifted from your blood

    All you did finally

    Was to ask whether it was good.
