…Gretchen, when the morn Is gray, Forsake thy flocks and steal away To that low bank where, shepherds say, The flowers eternal are. Thine eyes should gleam to see me there, As fixed upon a star, And yet thy lips should take a tune, And match me unaware— So steals the sun beside the moon And hides her lustre rare. The bloom upon the peach is fine ; The blossom on thy cheek is mine ! O kiss me—if you dare ! I called thee by the name of love That mothers fear and gods approve, And maidens blush to say— O Gretchen, meet me in the dell We know and lo…

…or Magick without Tears, or else they were conventional lover's chats, which she [133] felt sure he despised. He would tell her that her eyes were like the stars; and she would think that he meant: "What am I to say to this piece of wood?" Even nature seemed to stir his contempt in some way.

For a long while he remained motionless, his breast rising quickly and falling, his lips trembling with passion — and then he turned to her and said in cold blood…

Lips to lips beget for daughters Little kisses of the breeze ; Limbs entwined with limbs, the waters Of incredible blue seas ; Eyes that understand, the slaughters Of a thousand ecstasies Re-embodied, as they wrought us Garlands of strange sorceries ; New desires and mystic passion Infinite, of starry fashion ; The mysterious desire Of the subtle formless fire.

Dare to believe the child-heart’s thought, And wake in wonder! For I knew From the first hour that This was true. XXIII. PROTOPLASM. ALTHOUGH I cannot leave these bitter leas, And whisper wiser than the southern breeze, And mix my master music with the sea’s ; Although I shiver and you smile; heap coal And you stand laughing where the long waves roll ; There is a sympathy of soul to soul.

Vv. All change, all motion, and all sound, are weakness ! Man cannot bear the darkness which is death.

Their song is in my ears, that burn with their melodious wickedness ; But in her heart my sorceress has songs more sinful, that I learn As she sings slowly all their shame, and makes me tingle with delight At new debaucheries, whose might rekindles blood and bone to flame.

Moneys-grubbing does its best to blaspheme and destroy nature. It is useless to oppose the baseness of humanity; if one touches pitch one runs the risk of being defiled.
