THE EQUINOX By Light shall ye look upon yourselves, and behold All Things that are in Truth One Thing only, whose name hath been called No Thing for a cause which later shall be de- clared unto you. But the substance of Light is Life, since without Existence and Energy it were naught. By Life therefore are you made yourselves, eternal and incorrup- tible, flaming forth as suns, self-created and self-supported, each the sole centre of the Universe. Now as by Light ye beheld, by Love ye feel. There is an ecstacy of pure Knowledge, and another of …

…t clusters Round your face as a rosebud withdrawn, New splendour springs carmine and lustres Your cheeks with the coming of dawn, Love’s light as an army that musters its plumes—and is gone. For fear as a fountain, that trembles With wind, is arisen, and hides The light of your love, and dissembles The roar of the passionate tides ; Though a flickering flame it resembles, love is, and abides. 49

…Is your land among orchids Where strange petals ensnare ? Are your dominions hundreds Which no adventurers dare ? Is your sea in the air light ? Your colours are they rays ? Your sailors girt for flower fight ? Your shoals a flowery maze ? Your masts are they the grass heads ? Your guns are they the boom Of insects in the marsh beds Where day light wars with gloom ? 123

…weaving and woven, Budding and flowering, Spiring and showering, Cleaving and cloven ! My being encloses Fountains of roses, Lilies, and light! I wrap and I sunder! I am lightning and thunder! The world-souls wonder At me and my might! All-piercing, all-winding, All-moving, all-blinding, All shaken in my hissing; My life’s light finding All spirits, and binding Their love with my kissing; 36

THE FATAL FORCE 41 A holy habitation for the shrine Solitary, ’mid the night of broken brine That foamed like starlight round the desolate shore. So to the mine of that crystalline ore Golden, the electric spark of man is drawn Deep in the bosom of the world, to soar New-fledged, an eagle to the dazzling dawn With lidless eyes undazzled, to arise, Son of the morning, to the Southern skies; And fling its wild chant higher at the fall Of even, and of bright Hyperion; To mix its fire with dew, to call The spirit of the limitless air, made one In t…

… is itself but a dream , There is no end save the song, and song is the end ; And here with a sheaf of songs bareheaded I stand, And the light is fled from mine eyes, and the sword from my hand Is fallen ; the years have left me a fool, and the gleam Is vanished from life, and the swift years sear me and rend . There is no end save the song , and the joy in the singing , And song alone may relieve the shadowy pain . I am weary even of song , and the lyre is cold , And my heart is lead , and the world seems very old . Dusk falls on the earth , a…

…hrined in the soul, Life bright for his breath, Life dark for his goal, I am Mother, and Burier, and Friend—- Look thou to the end! I am Light in thy Love, Iam Love in thy Life. I am cloistered above Where the stars are at strife. I am life in thy light, and thy death Is part of my breath. My voices are many, Thy lyre is but one; But thou art not as any Soul under the sun! Thou hast power for an hour The motherly dower. 71

AMBERGRIS 37 I led her the beautiful way To the land where the Winds lie between. So still lingers sun upon sea ; Still twilight draws down to the world ; The light of my spirit is she ; The soul of her love is in me ; Lithe kisses with music are curled. Like light on the meadows we dwell ; Like twilight clings heart unto heart ; Like midnight the depth of the spell Our love weaves, and stronger than hell The guards of our palace of art. We are one as the dew that is drawn By the sun from the sea : we are curled In curves of delight and of dawn…

72 THE SWIMMER FATHER of light ! Through the black seas I swim To thine arising Disk. Seven waves suppress Mine head beneath their arcane bitterness ; Nor on their curling summits shines one dim Foam-flake made lustrous by the light of him To whom I strive. O blank, black wilderness Of iron water ! O this stormy stress Of strength that strains toward thine auroral rim ! Caught up on the wild crest, thine orb I glimpse ; Thrust in the trough, the salt wave chokes and blinds. Shrill shrieks the wind, the voice of myriad imps ; And mine own mocker…

… we have taken to calculate the distance of the fixed stars, and hear Professor G. N. Lewis, who 'suggests that two atoms connected by a light ray may be regarded as in actual physical contact. The interval between two ends of a light-ray is, on the theory of relativity, zero, and Professor Lewis suggests that this fact should be taken seriously. On this theory, light is not propagated at all. This idea is in conformity with the principle that none but observable factors should be used in constructing a scientific theory, for we can certainly n…

[Far above glimmers a crescent, and sheds a wan light. A horvible discord arises: the howling of wolves, the moaning of dogs, the wailing of cats, the crying ofjackals. And in the half light appear first marsh-lights wandering, then giant illusions of gods and men, all of which disappear in turn, their evanishment awaking a peal of mocking laughter. The women shrink in…
