…RCY. It is like your eyes. [Comes out into corridor.] Esmé! I have looked into your eyes as your eyes look into Heaven, and there I have found my Heaven. O serene depths! O faultless face of my desire! O white brow too clear! I sin against your holiness by my presence. Only the moon should see you, Esmé. ESME [half in tears]. . You don’t mean like that, Percy, quite.

Their lips are wed To drink the breezes from the fountain-head Of lovers breath. Now Zeus half rises up, Sips once again from that moon-curvéd cup, And, in his passion gazing on the flower, Darker and riper for Loves perfect hour, His clear voice through the silent atmosphere Burst rich and musical upon her ear.

And I Rode forth on that same foolish wandering ; And found a-many ventures on the way ; At last an old Egyptian ; who bestowed The magic word, which, when I had pronounced, Called up thine evil corpse-light in the sky. He riddled me —ah God ! I see it now ! The bloody winepress .'' The ascending sun ? Thy dawning beauty and thine evil bed ! The double meaning ! I had evil thoughts When I pronounced it —else had She Herself, Hathoor or Mary, risen. Misery! Incess…

Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this knowledge go aright. 6. I am the flame that burns in every'heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life; yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. 7.

…this kind; to fall into a habit appears to me utterly out of accord with the views of the late John Stuart Mill on Liberty." Lisa always found herself whirled about like a Dervish by the strange twists which her lover continued to give to his conversation. Monet-Knott had told her in London of his famous faux pas at Cannon Street Station, when the railway official had passed along the train, shouting "All change! All change!" only to be publicly embraced by Cyril, who pretended to believe that he was a Buddhist Missionary, on the ground that on…

We hear the low chant that may bind us, The song from the ultimate shore. We come that our lover may find us His bride as he found us before. We listen, and love; and his voice is the voice of the God we adore. ORPHEUS Come forth in your gladness, O end of all these! O sorrow and madness And passion and ease, Sharp joy and sweet sadness, Deep life and deep peace ! Come forth! I invoke you, ringed round, earth’s girdle, the manifold seas ! THE SEA I hear but one voice in our voices ; One tune, multitudinous notes; One life that burns low or rejo…

…V WINDOWS WHOSO looks from without into an open window never sees so much as he who looks at a closed window. There is nothing more pro- found, more mysterious, more fertile, more darksome, more dazzling, than a window lighted by a candle. What one may see in sunlight is always less interesting than what passes behind the glass. In this black or shin- ing cavity life lives, life dreams, life suffers. Beyond the waves of roof I see a woman, middle-aged, already wrinkled, poor, always bending over something, who never goes out. With her face, her…

When I was living in this land I found them hard to understand ; And now I'm dead I often lie Wondering whether they ' re mad , or I. I like the rain and wind and trees And birds and flowers and cows and bees , Who work and play and make no lies To prove that they are good and wise .

He could evidently write and obtain money from home (47th day), and his actions are quite difficult to understand unless we assume the whole “ Alice ” episode to be a gor- geous fiction with the place and time references slyly inserted, the more surely to ensnare the feet of an investigator.

I have chosen the one which I wrote in a moment of heartbreak, when, after my work had been crowned with success, I found that my two oldest friends understood me so little that they thought it their duty to urge me to justify my cond…
