ARGONAUTAE O sleeper through dawn and though daylight, . O sleeper through dusk and through night! O shifted from white light to gray light, From gray to the one black light! O silence and sound In the far profound! O serpent of scales as an armour To bind on the breast of a lord! Not deaf to the Voice of the Charmer, Not blind to the sweep of the sword! I strike to the deep That thou stir in thy sleep! Rise up from mine innermost being! Lift up the gemmed head to the heart! Lift up till the eyes that were seeing Be blind, and their life depart…

I love thee, and I love thee well Who am like a shipwrecked sailor that should skry On the horizon some scarred citadel Or, smoking still, a volcan threat the sky, Or hairy with burnt forests, wracked and rent, Some ruin of an earthquaked continent ! It is not love, but worship most religious, This abject me, this wallowing at thy…

… C. T. SCHOFIELD, M.D. W. Rider and Sons. ts. net. There is a deal of sound sense in this little manual. The author castigates faddists, though to my mind not severely enough. However, I suppose that in this mealy-mouthed age the truth is not printable. It is a little amusing, though, to see how he tries to make his commonsense fit into his Christianity. It is the Puritan theory that theological sin, which means everything you like, is bad for you, that is responsible, according to statistics, for 79°403% of all the misery in England. I suppose…

…ugh all the trees No pink pale blossom of his tender lips. The little ships Of silver leaf and briar-bloom sail here, No storm to fear — Though butterflies be all their mariners. The whitethroat stirs The beech-leaves to awake the tiny breeze That soothes the seas, And yet gives breath to shake their fairy sails; Young nightingales, a Far through the golden plumage of the night, With strong delight Purple the evening with amazing song; The moonbeams throng In shining clusters to the fairy throat, Whose clear trills float And dive and run about …

Though the gale was yet fierce, its heart broke in a torrent of sleet mixed with hail; for two hours more it drove almost horizontally against the hillside, and then, steadying and steepening, fell as a flood, a cataract of icy rain. The slopes of Posilippo roared with their foaming load; gardens were washed clear of soil; walls broke down before the impetuosity of the waves they strove to dam; and the streets of lower Naples stood in water to the height of a man's thigh. The hour for the beginning of the work of the necromancers was that of su…

But oh ! not ever a soul hath heard Its echo, O Thou great I Am ! Lo ! Thou hast made the winds, the stars, The sun, the moon, the great grave earth ; Thou has touched the swaying nenuphars With music, and made godly mirth With corn and wine ; Thou hast made Thee man ; Thou hast loved and suffered, died and risen ; Buthath Thy mouth grown white and wan, Sucked out into that strange sweet pri…

…y the skull of a parricide should help you to raise a dead man, as you do not see why the mercury in a thermometer should rise and fall, though you elaborately pretend that you do; and you could not raise a dead man by the aid of the skull of a parricide, just as you could not play the violin like Kreisler; though in the latter case you might modestly add that you thought you could learn. This is not the special pleading of a professed magician; it boils down to the advice not to judge subjects of which you are perfectly ignorant, and is to be …

F . W . Stokoe . Look, they say I fell asleep : I didn 't, though they laid me deep , - . I' ve waked and watched , year in year out , The living people walk about. 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 . I like the children best of all And watch them playing till nightfall ; And when they ' ve left me ,…

…f the Boule- vards, I felt myself brushed by a mysterious being whom I had always wished to know, and whom I instinctively recognized, although I had never seen him. Doubtless there was in him an analogous desire as regards myself, for as he passed he gave me a significant wink which I hastened to obey. I followed him attentively, and soon I descended at his heels into a sub- terranean dwelling-place where shone a luxury of which none of the above-ground dwellings of Paris can show a rival. It seemed strange to me that I should so often have pa…
