Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

E . N . da C. Andrade . A gleaming edge to sunder truth from lies, To cleave white love and wantonness apart, An edge against the banded infamies That throng the road , and powerful through the mart To pass unstained , a splendour through the dust, A sword to lay across the throat of lust, To make the liars fear to tell their lies . - Oh , you are fair , my love , and keen your kiss , Who shall avail to make your glories his, Who wed with you , my sword -like Thoralis ? DIANA IN THE OPEN . As the strong sun that leaps upon the sea, She runs amid the waving grass . Beware ! The flashing strands of her tumultuous hair Will bind you to her track eternally . Her young , smooth arms , her waist and bosom free , Her shining shoulders , beautiful and bare , Her dabbled ankles dazzle those who dare To gaze too long . They follow hastily . A perilous quest ! Oh , whosoever follow Swift , pure Diana 's star , a harbinger By hill and heath , through stream and mossy hollow , Must too be pure . Swift torment fell on him Who , breaking on her bathing at the brim Of some cool streamlet , lusted after her .
