…fear me for the sorrow that he speaks. MESSENGER. The tribe of Ephraim went forth to fight Armed, and with bows, and turned them back to-day. For in the South a cloud of many men, And desert horsemen fiery as the sun, Swarmed on the plains, a crescent from the hills That girdle Mahanaim: and behold! Our men were hemmed before the city gates, The elders having fortified them: so They fled about the city, and the horsemen, Dashing, destroyed them as the wind that sweeps

CLOISTRAL seclusion of the galleried pines Is mine to-day : these groves are fit for Pan— O rich with Bacchic frenzy and his wine’s Atonement for the infinite woe of man! Is there no God of Vital Art to dwell Serene, enshrined, incensed, adored of us? Were not a cemetery His citadel? His treasure-house some barred sarcophagus? And here his mighty and reverend high-priest Bade me good cheer, an eager acolyte, Poured the high wine, unveiled the mystic feast ;— Swoo…

Ay! this first of Lesbian lamentations Still shall burn from zeon to idle zon ! (Chorus, epithalmy, ode, and pzean Dumb or dishevelled !) Still my songs shall murmur across the nations, Gain their meed of misery, praise, and yearning, Smite their stroke on centuries foully burning, Drunk or bedevilled. Song?

…iating funds intrusted to him for investment. He was an honest lawyer, as lawyers go — I was called to the Bar myself in my unregenerate days — and he resented the interference, the more so as no writ of habeas broomstick seemed to abate the nuisance. "The amiable creature, however, had recently taken pity upon his host, and sought to establish a claim upon his gratitude by saving him from death. For one day, as the lawyer was about to drive across the village bridge he saw the broomstick fall from the sky and stand erect, precisely in his path…

Lapy, awake the dread abyss Of knowledge in impassioned eyes ! Fathom the gulfs of awful bliss With the poised plummet of a kiss ! Love hath the arcanum of the wise ; Love is the elixir, love the stone ; The rosy tincture shall arise Out of its shadowy cadences. Love is the Work, and love alone Rewards the ingenious alchemist. Chaste fervours chastely overthrown Awake the infinite monotone. So, Lad…

Only to me looks out for ever From her cold eyes a fire like death ; Only to me her breasts can never Lose the red brand that quickeneth ; Only to me her eyelids sever And lips respire her equal breath; Still in the unknown star I see The very god that is of me. The day’s pale countenance is lifted, The rude sun’s forehead he…

…he life of most people.—A. C. So the night fell, and gently grew the shades In firelight fancies taking idle form ; Often a flashing May-day ring of maids, Or like an army through resounding glades Glittering, with martial music, trumpet, shawm, Drum—so I build the echoes of the storm Into a pageant of triumphant shapes. So, as the night grows deeper, and no moon Stirs the black heaven, no star its cloud escapes, I sit and watch the fire: my musing drapes My soul in darker dreams; the storm’s wild tune Rolls ever deeper in my shuddering swoon :…

Never dew-dashed foreheads fair Shall salute the idle air. Never shall we wander deep Where the fronds of fern, asleep, Kiss her rosy feet that pass On the spangled summer …

Swart giants with drawn yataghans Guard, standing at his head and feet, Zohra, the mightiest of the khans! Each slave Circassian like a moon Sits smiling, burning with young bloom Of dawn, and weaves an airy tune Like a white bird’s song bright and bold That dips a fiery plume. So the song lulled, lazily rolled In tubes of silver, lutes of gold ;

…Lord God! Thus that most reverend sound through all the vale Pealed in low cadences that rise and fail, And all the augurs promise happy days, And all the men for Archais have praise, And all maids’ eyes are fixed on Charicles. Then, to the tune of musical slow seas, The wind began to murmur on the mead, And he, unconscious, drew his eager reed From the loose tunic; now they seat them- selves On moss worn smooth by feet of many elves Dancing at midnight through them, and their voice | Bids all the woodland echoes to rejoice Because the lovers a…

O CHAINLESS Love, the frost is in my brain, Whose swift desires and swift intelligence Are dull and numb to-day; because the sense Only responds to the sharp key of pain. O free fair Love, as welcome as the rain On thirsty fallows, come, and let us hence Far where the veil of Summer les immense, A haze of heat on ocean’s purple plain. O wingless Love, let us away together Where the sure surf rings round the beaten strand ; Where the sky stands, a dome of flawless weather, And the stars join in one triumphal band, Be…

But he said: "I don't think it quite fair on the girl. It's a battle, and no call for her to [54] fight. Besides" — he turned to Cyril — "she would probably be obsessed in twenty-four hours."
