So still the night is, like the crown Most white of the high God that glittereth ! The stars surround the moon, and Nereids drown Their rippled tresses in her golden breath. Let us keep watch, my true love, caught at last Between my hands, and not remember death. Only bethink us of the daylight …

At the very central shrine, Pinnacled moment of excess Of immolation’s blood divine : Back ! from the fleshly loveliness: O face concealed! Back! One hath whispered ‘‘ Naboth’s field,” Iam slain.

The implacable ardour, unavenged remorse For time’s insulting loss, quickens the pace Unto its prey that gathers, like a storm Shrouding invisibly the crater’s rim Whence fury yet shall wake, and fire in- form The inane basalt and coruscations dim Of smouldering infamy.

I had not thought the poison left her so— Smiling, enticing, exquisite. I meant Rather that beauty to destroy, to leave No subtle languors on that breast of snow, No curves by God’s caressing finger bent, To bid me think of her: I would de- ceive My memory—now [ can but grieve. Perhaps our happiness, despite of all, Would have grown comelier and never tired ; Perhaps the p…

Gilbert) position of the Free Kirk to-day, is a poem which had better be burnt, as the most sensible man of his time proposed to do with Homer, or at least left to the collector, as I believe is the case with the publications of the late Isidore Liseux. Immoral is indeed no word for it. It is as criminal as the riddle in “ Pericles.” That our Pantosympatheticist is himself an Agnostic does not excuse him.
