The fire consumes the light; and rosy flame Leaps through the veins of blue, and tinges them With such a purple as incarnadines The western sky when storms are amorous And lie upon the.breast of toiling ocean, Such billows to beget as earth devours In ravening whirlpool gulphs. My veins are full, Throbbing with fire more potent than all wine, All sting of fleshly pangs and pleasures. Oh! The god is fast upon my back ; he rides My s…

Eight years ago this day you, Hermes, led me blindfold to awake a chosen runner of the course. ‘In all my wanderings in darkness your light shone before me though I knew it not.’ To-day (one may almost hope, turning into the straight) you and I are alone. Terrible and joyous! We shall find companions at the End, at the banquet, lissome and cool and garlanded; companions with a Silver Star or maybe a Jewelled Eye mobile and uncertain—as if alive—on their foreheads. We shall be bidden to sit, and they will wreathe us with immortal flowers, and…

Closer cling, thou heart of amazed rapture, Cords of starlight fashioned about thee net- wise, Tendrils woven of gossamer twist about us ! These be the binders !

He had reorganized Buddhism as a missionary religion, and founded societies everywhere to study and practise it. He had even found time and strength, amid these labours, to pursue his own hobby of electrical research. Misunderstood, thwarted, hampered in every way, he had won through; and he had never violated the precepts of his Teacher by raising his voice to denounc…
