XLII PROEM. For as I love with spirit and with sense I nauseate at this crawling crapulence, Our whole state, summed in one supreme enigma, Solved (in a second) by a simple Σ. Monstrous conjunctions with black man and brute Level our ladies with the prostitute : Our spinsters chaste in criminal abortion, And matrons with the pox for marriage portion ; Husbands who pimp all day for their young wives, Athletes from Oxford, pathic all their lives, Who sport the “ so ” coat, the sotadic necktie, And lisp their filthy pun “ Mens conscia recti ” !

I, seeing all this, would foil Time’s periods For one small woman on this one mean earth, Would spoil …

…uise My heart where her lusts like hornets settle On sacred leaves, on flowers forbidden. She is like a drug of wonder. All the limits of sense dissolve When we {all like snows from the precipice Sun—kissed to the black ravines of ice. I am drowned in the universal thunder; The hours disrupt, the aeons involve. Ah I not in any mortal mood Ends the great verb we conjugate From the highest hyberbole she doth swerve In an incommensurable curve, And the line of our beatitude Is one with the sigil of our Fate.

… touched his spirit not with grief, Although its name was sorrow. “ O for a name to borrow ” (He mused) “ some semblance for this subtle sense Of new experience ! For on my heart, untouched, my mind not used To any metre mused, Save the one tranquil and continuous rhyme Of joy exceeding time, Here the joy changes, but abides for ever, Here on the shining river Where the dusk gathers, and tall trees begin To wrap the shallop in, Sweet shade not cast of sun or moon or star, But of some light afar Softer and sweeter than all these—what light Burns…

…she seems A folded rosebud, where the ivory skin Closes the ripe warm centre flower, the mind, The spirit that was beautifully kind, The sense of beauty shadowed in deep dreams, Sent through the horn gates by some sleepy wind. All lingers: all is gone: a little while, And all the live sweet rapture of the smile Of her whole being is discomfited, The body broken, desolated, vile, Til nought remains but the memorial urn Of deep red gold, less golden than did burn Once the strong breast: the ash within is shed, Dust given for flowers : what memory…

…rest and noblest relation which I had ever had with anybody. I had not imagined the possibility of so divine a development. It was, in a sense, passionate, because it partook of the white heat of creative energy and because its intensity absorbed all other emotions. But for this very reason it was impossible to conceive of it as liable to contamination by any grosser qualities. Indeed, the universe of sense was entirely subordinated to its sanctity. It was based upon impressions as an incandescent light upon its filament. But the world was tran…

And this is the Paradox, that there are Bonds which lead to Slavery, and Bonds which lead to Freedom. All we are bound in many Fetters by Environment, and it is for ourselves in great Part to determine whether they shall enslave us or emancipate us. And I will make clear this Thesis to thee by the Way of Illustration. o

Silence hath shattered all the dream-dominions Of life and light: the grey bird’s soul is flown Into a soundless night, Lampless: a vivid flight Beyond the thrones and stars of heaven down hurled, Till the great blackness heaves An iron bre…
