G . Leathem . Beneath the Tudor roses, those old words , “ Beauty is truth , and truth beauty ,” all at once Came with a fuller meaning to my mind , " Truly ," I thought , “ These dons who follow truth In desolate regions , lifeless , rugged , bare , All follow beauty too — the only prize Worth questing in this sorry world of ours .” 103

…s go round , But at night I think and listen To the thoughts the stars have found , For the day with all its brilliance Has not half the truth of night : Children plight their love in darkness But they veil it in the light . “ I have heard the boys at day prime , I have seen the men at noon , And the grey - beards pass me silent In the hush t' wixt sun and moon . They have sought the truth in day - time While I slept and let them play , But when night came down they found it, For there is no truth in day .” 200

And how he went exploring in his world Of space and number , groping in the dark , Finding the pathways blocked on every side , Till some great thought arising as a sun , Would drive the mists away and show in front The radiant living mountains of new truth . I know not if I understood aright His meaning , but I saw upon his face The rapture of a visionary inspired . And as I went from out the ancient …

W E served him with the sweat of many years , W Squandered our youth in labour in his fields , Our backs were bowed beneath the heavy yields That swelled his coffers , and our wage was tears .

… Life may ope , And call me upwards to unite (Even my soul within the scope ) With That Unutterable Light. Steady of purpose , girt with Truth , I pass, in my eternal youth , And watch the centuries wax and wane ; Untouched by Time's corroding tooth , Silent , immortal , unprofane ! My empire changes not with time. Men 's kingdoms cadent as a rime Move me as waves that rise and fall. They are the parts , that crash or climb ; I only comprehend the All.

…makes strange dreams of her bewilderment . Of such race are you not ; For you , untripped by unseen snares , in light Can see the simple truth As it has been through centuries in those isles Which neither live nor die But are immortal . The refrains of love And death and tragedy Seem sad by very changelessness . The world In the forthflow of time So new , is yet so hopeless and so old , That every tear we shed Is but a repetition of those tears Which perhaps Sappho shed . The same chant murmurs in the ageless sea As Homer turned to words , 128

Not because all is sadness Inevitably : the joys that do obscure Are no less real Than sorrows which reveal ; But joy the spendthrift reckons not in pence The things that make his gladness , But grief a strict accountant will commence To tell base coin from the pure . Has any man a friend Crowned with delight and full prosperity , Who walk together seeming whole And interweave caressing arms ? Let thes…

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 ?

God makes His meaning absolutely plain . He demonstrates that , when the world began , He made a solemn covenant with man ; Tells how , and where the fatal tree was set In Eden ; furthermore, how woman ate; Yea , how Eve tempted Adam and he fell , Necessitating everlasting Hell . Praise be to Him whose wisdom could invent That final word to every argument ! Thou hast the Light - …

…es an inventory of these in exquisite language. The old business of the poet did not end with his apprehending this or that of universal truth , or with his being acutely affected by it, or even with his coming back and informing folks that he had fallen in love or had lost a friend, and that it was a tremendous ex perience . On top of all this he had to realise his self by losing it, to purge the personal out of his discovery, to re-clothe it, and to bring the universal back in a new embodiment which all men could recognise . To this the fine …

… serious on hand than to dine and chat and make themselves agreeable . For Howard 's pleasantry ( as old as Juvenal , and older ) has in truth very little sense to commend it. I am writing this by a window which stands open above a two - mile beach , along which the tide has for some three hours been advancing . Parables , analogies , have usually a weak point somewhere ; and so I dare say has this , which I take for an illustration only . But the seventh or ninth wave which hurls itself in on so proud a crest , to capture whole yards of territ…
