…desire in the other . Very different from Blake do we find such a poem as “ Vespers ,” which , though differing in rime , in cadence and spirit , is reminiscent of Rossetti's “ Blessed Damozel " : Still in those avenues of light, No maid , with golden zone , And lily garment that from sight Half hides the ivory throne , Lay in my arms the livelong night To call my soul her own . ? Whilst parts of the poem “ Messaline " with which “ Alice ” opens remind us of poor " Jenny." Tennyson , if we are to judge from the introduction to “ Alice , " does …
…hed Flowers for the maiden head, Ephemeral flowers ! I yearn, not comforted. My heart has vainly bled Through age-long hours. To thee my spirit turns ; My bright soul aches and burns, As a dry valley yearns For spring and showers. Splendid, remote, a fane Alone and unprofane, I know thy breast. These bitter tears of pain Flood me, and fall again Not into rest. Me, whose sole purpose is To gain one gainless kiss, And make a bird’s my bliss, Shrined in that nest. 36

Its flower in its own perfumed passion, Its faint sweet passion, folded and furled In flower fashion ; And my deep spirit taking its pure part Of that voluptuous heart Of hidden happiness ! 2. Arise, strong bow of the young child Eros ! (While the maddening moonlight, the memoried caress Stolen of the scented rose Stirs me and bids each racing pulse ache, ache !) Bend into an agony of art Whose cry is ever rapture, and whose tears For their own purity’s undivided sake Are molten dew, as, on the lotus leaves Silver-coiled i…
…charity, and reigns by virtue of the order which constitutes the hierarchy. The hierarchy is the guardian of dogma, for whose letter and spirit she alike demands respect. The sectarians who, in the name of their reason or, rather, of their individual un- reason, have laid hands on dogma, have, in the very act, lost the spirit of charity; they have excommunicated themselves. The Catholic, that is to say the universal, dogma merits that magnificent name by harmonizing in one all the religious aspirations of the world ; with Mosesand Mohammed, it …

… Lamp, at midnight hour, Be seen in some high lonely Tower, Where I may oft outwatch the Bear, With thrice-great Hermes, or unsphear The spirit of Plato, to unfold What Worlds, or what vast Regions hold The immortal mind that hath forsook Her mansion in this fleshly nook ; _ And of those Dzemons that are found In fire, air, flood, or under ground, Whose power hath a true content With Planet, or with Element. Some time let Gorgeous Tragedy In Sceptr'd Pall come sweeping by.” Il Penseroso.

…intelligence and of love, all you who do not sanction paternal authority by the virtue of a good example! Those wretches were orphans in spirit and in heart, and they have avenged their birth. We live in a century when more than ever the family is misunderstood in all that it possesses which partakes of the august and the sacred: material interest is killing intelligence and love; the lessons of experience are despised, the things of God are hawked about the street. The flesh insults the spirit, fraud laughs in the face of loyalty. No more idea…

SONGS OF THE SPIRIT.+ 1898. SONGS OF THE SPIRIT. ‘¢ A fool also is full of words.” Ecclesiastes. DEDICATION To J. L. BAKER. THE vault of purple that I strove To pierce, and find unchanging love, Or some vast countenance! above All glory of the soul of man, Baffled my blind aspiring gaze With sunlight’s melancholy rays, And closed with iron hand the ways That sunder space, divide the days with fiery fan. Thine was the forehead mild and grave That shone throughout the azure nave Where Monte Rosa’s silence gave The starry organ’s measured sound. W…

Behold! they come, Fantastically moving through the dance, The many mourners, and the fatal bier Looms in the dimness of the anteroom. It is enough. My hour is at hand! CHORUS exter and ctrcumarntbulate. Even as the traitor’s breath Goeth forth, he perisheth By the secret sibilant word that is spoken unto death. Even as the profane hand Reacheth to the s…
