If the Utilitarian progress in the next few years as he has in the last, soon we shall have some socialistic fellah depriving the world of its last great monu- ments, and building labourers’ cottages out of the stones and bricks of the Pyramids, because they are so very much more useful. “Solve” is the cry to-day; the Sabbatic finger of the Goat points upwards, yet on the clouds of darkness does it scrawl a sigil of light.

…in one soul in one delicious bed More hot than hell, more wicked than all things, Vast in our sin, whose unredeeming wings Rise o’er the world, and flap for lust of death, Eager as any one that travaileth ; So in our lust, the monstrous burden borne Heavy within the womb, we wait the morn Of its fulfilment. Thus eternity Wheels vain wings round us, who may never die But cling as hard as serpent’s wedlock is, One writhing glory, an immortal kiss. - THE BLOOD-LOTUS.

He was doubtless paid to write it in this interest. However, I had no idea that Mr. Wil- liam Archer was such an unpleasant thing. The publisher says that he was born at Perth, Scotland…

Though death be the stain on our roses, The roses of heaven are white ; Though day on the world of us closes The stars only dream of the night As of music that roars and reposes and dies in delight. Dead stars in the season of sighing, Lost worlds of unspeakable pain, White winds in the winter-tide dying, Or pestilence risen from rain ; So thoughts are that perish for lying and rise not again. Blue waves in the summer uncrested, New homes for the fair and the free, Bright breezes in forest-leaves n…

The contemplation of those awful eyes, The flaming void, the godh…
