272 THE BUDDHIST THERE never was a face as fair as yours, A heart as true, a love as pure and keen. These things endure, if anything endures. But, in this jungle, what high heaven immures Us in its silence, the supreme serene Crowning the dagoba, what destined die Rings on the table, what resistless dart Strikes me? I love you; can you satisfy The hunger of my heart? Nay ; not in love, or faith, or hope is hidden The drug that heals my life; I know too well How all things lawful, and all things forbidden Alike disclose no pearl upon the midden,…

They could not speak, the two detractors, for they had learnt the wisdom and merit of sin. They knew that good…

THE THREE WORMS “Tam her heart, her ordinary, commonplace woman’s heart. Commonplace! Ah! nothing is so mysterious as the common- place, for it is only Subtlety sleeping and holding its hands a little while. A country clod is more interesting than the most awake and magnetic of geniuses, even as the veiled and cloistered odours of Spring with which one knows the earth is tingling in Winter are more delirious and exciting than the naked bosoms of May. “Will you believe me, that, by I know not what exquisite contradiction, the sweetest kiss was e…

But echoing from the central roar Reverberates many a mournful moan, And shapes more mystic than before Baffle its formless monotone!

Breathless with foolish haste they jog And jostle, all for naught! They scrawl Vain things all night that they disown Ere day. They call and bawl and squall Hoarse cries; they moan, they groan. A stone Hath better sense! And these among A cabbage-headed god they own, With wandering eye and jabbering tongue. He, rotting in that grimy sewer And charnel-house of death and dung, Shrieks …
